Its been nearly a week since the Montane Highland Fling.
Nearly a week since I put a tent up with the Subversive Runner for the first time.
Nearly a week since I went for a pint with Corned Beef and he drank juice (?)
Nearly a week since one of the best weekends I've had in ages.
It was fab!! Early rise and a late night to follow but it was a fantastic atmosphere and I'm glad I was there for the start. Meeting big Davie, who looks nothing like his picture. A proper big Glesga Polis. Wee baby Cairn and his gorgeous Maw. Seeing the guy from the pub the night before and killing my self laughing when he heard Dave talk about running in June. All not to be missed.
The dancin in the evening; seeing a London fireman dance his 2nd and 3rd Gay Gordons (ever). Being made to do some crazy Indian wifeys dance round a guy with a kilt on(?). I had my naughty head on and had to talk my self out of looking up his kilt just to check. I don't think his Mrs would have been very pleased.
So its all over for another year. I'm off camping again this weekend with The Welshes (my family) no subversive Runner this time :-(
Next marshalling duties for me are in two weeks time at the Cateran Trail Race. I'm sure I see some of you there. There are places still available for runners if you fancy it.
But before then, next Saturday the 9th of May I have some tickets left for "An evening with Christopher Brookmyre" Christopher is a Scottish crime writer, general funny guy and sometime football pundit. I'm told he supports St Mirren. Anyway he has kindly agreed to donate his time for us and read from his latest novel and have a bit of banter. All to help us raise the money for our little walk!!!
Tickets are £10 and include a buffet. There will be a bar and a silent auction.
7.30 - 11.30 in the Ballgreen Hall Strathaven.
If you would like tickets or can help with a raffle prize or can help in anyway let me know.

The photo has been deleted! Now, do I grow it back (and I can!) or do I find another photo?
Great to see you Mrs Mac. Or do we call you Ms Mac now :-) :-)
You're only lovin' the camping because the dreaded midge hasn't appeared yet %-) I remember my first words to Marco when we got married were "Now can I tell you I f-king hate camping?". Actually camping anywhere outside of Scotland is fab.

Ps: Obviously I made a wee mistake in the above deleted comment
Debs, I'm still Mrs Mac, no change there. For the moment ;-)
As for the camping, I've been camping for years. Hannah was 9mths old when we took her for the first time. A midge infested Arran campsite in June, oh joy!
This was just the first time for the Pirate and I.
See ya soon missy,
Mrs Mac x
