Did the 2 munro peaks of Buachaille Etive Beag beside Glen Coe on Saturday. Up and down in 4 1/2 hours. Brilliant walk.

Actually my friend whose well into his films said 'I expected it to be shite and loved it, you've got to go and see it'. From what he'd said I thought that it was going to be great. Turns out that it's a complete joke and he'll be getting a slagging next time I see him. Monster attacks city, guy tries to save girl he loves, the 'joker' with the camera, the well endowed beautiful girl accompanying them in her short skirt, low cut top and high heels, the most blatant product placement I've ever seen (let's just zoom in on the Budweiser bottle and Wrigley's chewing gum). It was hideous and they stole everything from other movies. War of the Worlds, Blair Witch Project, Godzilla, The Day After Tomorrow, it was all in there. Girl looked nice though.

Steal a load of ideas from other films, throw in a dinosaur, rubbish acting and a predictable plot and you get Cloverfield. 'Go without me, this is something I've got to do, I need to be with her, no dude we're not leaving you and I'm bringing my HD indestructible digicam with me.... is that you Tod? I can't believe you're here and have saved me from being killed by that huge monster and while you're here would you mind removing this piece of metal that has somehow pierced my left breast, I love you, I love you too, it just took NY to be attacked by a big f**k-off dinosaur for me to realise it '. Absolute mince. 1/10.

Breeders. ABC in April the day after their new album comes out.

Interpol tonight as well. Sons & Daughters Thursday.

Volver. Spanish film with Penelope Cruz. So so. 6/10.

Did exactly the same thing a couple of months ago and it was fcking tough! Completely missed the path and headed towards the reservoir. Got to the point where we said well there doesn't seem to be a route so we'll just start climbing. Discovered the path when we were 3/4 of the way up. It would have been a bit of a puff even using the path from the bottom, but off the path wasn't easy.

Was up and down The Cobbler (Ben Arthur) with a mate yesterday for a nice wee jaunt. Started out at 9 and was back at the car by 1. It was very misty so could see bugger all, but it wasn't wet and was surprisingly still at the top. Would have been nice to have had a clear day, but I suppose that you can't expect too much with it now being October. Anyone been through the eye of the needle to the true summit? Our nerve failed us as visibility was poor and the rocks were pretty slippy.

If they did do it then I couldn't really think of what their motive may have been. However, I read this morning that the theory that the Portugese police are working with is that Madeleine was accidentally killed with an overdose of a sedative and that her parents have tried to cover it up. The night before she died, according to someone staying in the next room, Madeleine had woken during dinner and her parents had to return to their room. The theory goes that the next night, the McCanns, possibly with the assistance of someone else in the group of mainly doctors that they were holidaying with, gave Madeleine a sedative, which resulted in her death. Go to the police and they would both probably end up in a Portugese prison, lose their other two kids and careers in medicine, be universally despised, etc, etc. The alternative was to get rid of the body and say that she was abducted.

Madeleine: Blood In Parents' Car? Updated: 12:14, Friday September 07, 2007 <H2>Portuguese police have suggested to Kate McCann that traces of her daughter's blood were found in a car the family hired 25 days after the girl went missing, a family friend said. Mrs McCann, who is being questioned again by police, fears she will be charged today over the death of Madeleine. </H2> Kate is back at police stationKate is back at a Portuguese police station, where she is expected to be declared a formal suspect in the disappearance of her daughter. It is thought Mrs McCann is being asked more questions linked to the DNA tests on samples taken from a car the family hired more than three weeks after Madeleine's disappearance. During questioning yesterday, detectives suggested that traces of Madeleine's blood were discovered in the vehicle. Mrs McCann told them there was "no way" Madeleine's blood could have been found inside the car and she continues to protest her innocence, the friend said. Tests have also been carried out on specks of blood from the apartment where Madeleine went missing on May 3. Crowd outside the police stationMrs McCann's lawyer, Carlos Pinto de Abreu, has advised her there is "a possibility" she may be charged in connection with her daughter's death today, the friend added. A large crowd whistled and shouted as Kate arrived back in Portimao. She was driven to the police station by the family's spokeswoman Justine McGuinness. Yesterday, she was taken there by her husband, Gerry McCann. Mrs McCann was greeted by a huge crowd of journalists, locals and holidaymakers, many of them whistling and shouting at her. One British tourist shouted: "We believe you, Kate." But there were apparent jeers from other people in the crowd. Mrs McCann expects to be made an "arguido", a formal suspect, in the case. Madeleine went missing on May 3An arguido receives more protection under Portuguese law, including the right to remain silent in formal interviews. Sky News Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt said the move does not mean police are close to bringing charges. "The police are doing this so they can ask her a list of 22 questions about the night Madeleine disappeared," he said. "There are specific questions they need to ask and they can only do that if she is a suspect." But a family friend said: "They are treating Kate as if she is involved in some way in the death of her daughter." The friend added: "She is shocked and surprised in several ways. First of all that such an accusation could be made against her. "And obviously she is concerned that such a line of investigation can become a distraction from further attempts to find Madeleine." Gerry's brother John McCann said the prospect of Kate becoming a suspect was "unbelievable". Gerry McCann is due to be re-interviewed at 2pm.
