Sunday was spent recovering LOL…

>Sports Day 2010

Image
> Today as it was my day off, I had the pleasure of taking in both Andrew and Euan’s sports day at school. Maryann was unable to go due to a training course at work. Started very sharp and Euan’s nursery class was first. Advantage where we stay is the play partk is only about a 2min walk from the house lol.   Not much to see from a distance. But the sun was out and all were cheering so off it started. Euan came 2nd I think. Was a photo finish,. Andrew was FIRST: yay!! After a small hiccup of not picking Euan up at half11 for the picnic at the school (I assumed they were staying there to be picked up for the picnic, no1 told me, cough!), Me, Andrew and Euan had a spot of lunch in the playground of the primary I went to, between 79-86. I recall falling out this tree. Far right of photo when I was 9. lol Anyway we had fun on a nice sunny day in May…..

>Overuse of Police resource?

>Enjoyed a night out in Killie last night and we all went to get the last bus home. Some asshole was shouting at some girl on the bus and I understand there was some altercation. Nothing more. Bus driver. Who may add looked like at age 45 still stays at home with his mum 'takes his jacket off' and rants 'there is going to be blood spilled tonight'. Next thing we know we have 2 police cars, 1 of which is a traffic car. 5 police officers all to deal with 1 drunk. Bus does not leave for another half hr as they get statements from the driver who was now acting like rocky and having his moment of glory. So bus does not leave till nearly mid night and we nearly miss last orders.... I mean priorties?
