As a wee treat we missed training at the Olympians for one Thursday and met at our usual haunt the Boathouse for a gentle 5 mile stroll at very easy pace, although we were having trouble slowing Sandra down!! Carolyn too, although she wouldn't admit it was also running very strong and on reflection probably in better "knick" than she thought!!
Run out of the way, we popped in for a quick coffee and without even the hint of a red neck pulled out a "birthday" cake and asked for plates and a knife!! We didn't even pretend and sing "Happy Birthday!!" Nonetheless it was very enjoyable and a big thanks to Sandra for supplying the cake, very kind indeed!!
The nerves were starting to show and even a sense of emotion was in the air, as we chatted about what laid ahead.
Finally the hugely thoughtful Carolyn presented us with gift bags containing a cd of all our song clues, which we have all been playing repeatedly (Liam and Niamh were singing Colorado Rocky Mountain High this morning going to school!!!!). This was accompanied by a DVD-My Cousin Vinny!!! Carolyn had a failed attempt at movie club suggestions and movie of the week and this was her starter many weeks ago!!! Song clue, alphabet game, route planning, blog and even poems!! The movie suggestion was a step too far but I'm sure we will all watch our new DVD in the coming weeks!!!!
At this point the hugely unthoughtful and unkind Sean produced 2!!!! four leaf clover pins for the girls, which he had in his boot and nothing for Jim!!! Or indeed for that matter FROM Jim!!!
See you all in Fort William!!!!!!!!
