I had a day off and invited Spook to join me on The Ben. He started a mile down the road from me and I was to see how far I got before he caught me. This was as far as I got. He went half way and I stopped well short of it so that we could finish at the same time. I got a long way down before he got near me so I picked up the pace and raced off like a mountain goat, with a magnificent sprint finish. I didn't realise I had only got so far ahead because he had gone over his ankle just as he began his descent.....dammit!
We spring cleaned the living room last night so now all I have to do is clean the windows and try to make the rest of the house match this level of order. By the time I get the next room done, this one will have fallen into disrepair.
After school, I took the children up to meet wee Finn. Big Finn was fascinated with him and patiently waited for him to wake up. He was a very peaceful wee baby (unlike his bigger namesake, who cried for 15 months) so we had to leave without seeing the colour of his eyes. We took a wee tour of the area and declared it a very lovely place to be born and brought up. Just like wee Finn's mum was.
