Spookitto

Spook had an early finish of 4pm today to reward himself for the 5am start, so that was good. It also meant he had time to get a hair cut. I took a before and after photo to see if it made him look more athletic without having to train. He went to our favourite family salon - Alibabas - where Meg got her hair streaked, Finn is happy to have hair removed and where I have been supported and cared for since our second week here. Sandy lovingly sheared him and cultivated his eyebrows and Jayne insisted that he still make it to her wedding even though I will be in Scotland. He came home feeling shell-shocked and rejuvenated from 2 woman fussing over him. The second photo has a touch of the Frazer Couplands about it. This is what Spook looks like when he's not working. Main difference being that Frazer goes out on his bike! Even when we went down to watch the light weight triatlon in town tonight, he was still attached to his phone. Tomorrow is the heavy weights with Athletes from all over the world. Richard Ussher, who stayed a couple of nights with us a couple of years ago when he was competeing in the World Champ Adventure Race, is pitting himself against Iron Men. This is not his sport, so we will be watching with great interest. He is quite highly rated, but in a kind of controversial way. Unfortunately, it has started raining, after days of loveliness, though that may be good for the athletes. The town has erupted again, like it did at New Year, so when Spook is not attached to his phone, he is watching the poo swell up in his tanks (via a computer link - it is very exciting to live with Spook and see the world from a different perspective). You simply can't imagine unless you live with it! We had a couple of glasses of wine and enjoyed the Best Mate Craic, which we've missed over the last few weeks.
