Bleedin' Finn

Weather cleared up and Meg all packed to go 'bush'.
I got Finn to buy two tickets for the school panto on Thursday at which I have volunteered to help with make-up, as a good way to get to know all his wee pals. I refused dinner with Pete and Boss-man Steve on account of this, and 2hrs of solid scrubbing earned enough money for the tickets - $15 each. I was out at an orientation evening tonight, for Finns year going to Mount Aspiring College and went along with his American pal See-am (Sam)'s Mum Shannon. She informs me that THEIR panto is not until the 11th of December. If I hadn't mentioned it to her, I would have painted 100 small faces from primary 3 and 4 and Spook would have sat through a whole performance by kids he's never heard of, and his work pals would be out having a lovely time without him. I'm not really sure where Finn would have been. He had said to me that he was a bit worried that he'd not seen the wee kids performances and didn't quite know how it was all going to fit together. Well Finn...........it's NOT going to fit together.
Spook has a cycling event on Saturday from Garston to Bannockburn through the Nevis Valley - a distance of 75km. It's called the Bannockburn Gutbuster. I assume it's in New Zealand.
