Back on Islay this week. With our two year-old in tow, we're not able to do many distilleries this year, but I am doing a warehouse demonstration at Lagavulin. Hoping to sample their new 8yo, just released for their 200th birthday this year.

Good game to start the season. Kyles were good value for their 5-3 win. Two strange things happened: firstly the ball vanished into a massive crater in the pitch at one point; secondly the final Kyles goal appeared to slip through a hole in the side netting. Also vanished is the Kyles guy with the massive hair, or he's had it sheared off and I failed to recognise him!

I'll stick my neck out and tip Newtonmore for the league. I think Skye will win a cup.
In Glasgow having a bacon roll before I head up the road to Strachur. Sun is shining. Life is good today!

Kyles game tomorrow moved to Strachur. Strachur have scratched from the league this year, might be the only game played at their new pitch for a while.
Camanachd Cup final confirmed as held at Fort William.

New season starts this weekend coming. I'm weighing up a trip to Kyles v Fort William, or Kingussie v Lochaber, to start me off. Looking forward to a road trip.

Fixture list published on Friday.
A load of cup draws today - details here: http://m.shinty.com/news/mactavish-balliemore-sutherland-bullough-strathdearn-cup-draws/. I initially thought that Tim Burgess from The Charlatans had made the draw, but no, it was Jim Barr sporting a magnificent nest of hair.
Highlight looks like Newtonmore v Lovat, in the Mactavish Cup.
For the fixture list, here follows my annual plea to Astie to give Inveraray a decent home tie on 26th March when I'm passing through on way home from Islay! Come on Astie! Kilmallie at home would be nicely done.

Cheers. My mother in law has most of them, so I'll have a Wee hunt later and pick a couple for my reading pile.
I'm just about finished a cycling book about Hinault, so in mood for some fiction next.

I've taken a fancy to reading my first Rebus. Is there any merit in reading these in sequence, or do they stand well in isolation? Doubt I'll ever find time to read all of them, so what would be a good "entry level" Rebus?

Average temperature for January is +3; average low is +1. So your definition of -7 as "typical", is bollocks.Typical Weather For This Time Of Year thread for this pish.

Down to -7 driving through Peebles/Eddleston tonight, back up to -1 in Midlothian. No fresh snow.

James Yorkston, Pictish Trail, Withered Hand at Eastgate in Peebles tonight. Last time I attempted to see anyone there it was Tom Stade and the audience was 7. Will attempt to grow a beard by 8pm to blend in.

Got this for £25 out of Tesco. Not opened yet, probably save for the bells.
Good choice! I got the same deal at Tesco, opened that when we had visitors at Christmas. It got thumbs up all round! Just got a couple of glasses worth left in bottle now.

Cruyff! Late 90s, all over Edinburgh.
Second the guy that asked about Cosmic Rough Riders.

Kingussie v Newtonmore drawn in Macaulay Cup. Looking at the teams qualifying, it brings home the respective strengths of north and south regions. Aberdour in, but no Kilmallie etc. Took in the shinty exhibition as I was passing by Hampden this week. Was just a Wee bit disappointed that the Camanachd Cup wasn't on display. But this cartoon raised a smile...
Edit: the exhibition of Pollok FC photos there is excellent. Loved the story about the Panda Pyro!

I go for Roo-ry. Means big red King, which is handy given how his hair is firing up!Sorry for being a complete thicko but how is it you pronounce your sons name?
ETA: Brooke's school play is tonight, she's playing the part of the Inn Keeper and has 7 or so lines, should be interesting!

My Wee boy is a Ruaraidh. My favourite attempt on a card so far this year is "Rooragh".

Fifth for me. English offices go nuts about it, as a result get half day on Xmas Eve and we get held until the bitter death! (Or so they're told!)

My pal got this from Bernard Hunter cranes today. Lucky sod!

Also going to Twilight Sad on Saturday. After Mogwai in June, I think my first trip to Barrowlands.
First time I've seen them headline since Cafe Royal quite a few years back. Sound will be epic in that space!

Cardboard and cabbage tones mostly went the way of hot toddy filler in our holiday cottage last week.
So, aye, lesson learned!

Bit soggy at Romano Bridge this morning. Not much more than a burn normally has burst into the fields around the village. Road to West Linton blocked. I need to use that road maybe twice a year - it had to be today!

Forthcoming Hugh Dan lecture for anybody in the Edinburgh area with an interest in shinty: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/shinty-an-infusion-of-highland-blood-tickets-23415006916. I shall intend to be there.
Next game for me was to be Taynuilt v Inveraray in a cup next weekend, until Taynuilt spoiled it by getting beat by Aberdour in the prior round!
So now have the coveted "free pass" for next weekend but no game to go to. May venture north to Caberfeidh v Glenurquhart to tick off a new ground, lured by these famed pies!
