Well done Scotland!

"I believe in virtually everything. I do, I do. But most of all, kindness. All you have to be is kind. That's all you need. Once you've got that it virtually rules out everything else."

What a fantastic 'Melrose Sevens' day yesterday turned out to be! At the end of the day .........

Scottish Thistles beat Leicester Tigers 33 points to 12

and in the Under 16's Boroughmuir beat Northern by 10 point to 5

It was the 125th anniversary of the competition and there were 125 tries scored how cool is that!

It is a game that I love to watch the players have to be so fit and fast. I keep promising myself a trip to see the competition ....it's in next years diary!

Today, managing a headache from a bottle of wine and a little regret over a telephone call I should not have made, I am off outdoors to cleanse my soul.
Heading off with Mandy and my camera to treak through whatever she has planned for us.

Italy goes to the polls today ........ politics is such a sad game played with real peoples lives ......


'There is No Crisis in Zimbabwe' ..... Mr Mbeki says so!
