Up Yer Kilt

Morning and the delights of taking Cal to the Dentist, while Monst does that I scoot to work, puick up some Disney CDs and then by the time I'm back at the Dental Hospital, the family are out. Dash the boy to Kirkby. Home and time to clean up in anticipation of going away. Poor Monst is knackered and grabs a well deserved kip.

Head back to Kirkby and head up Norf' as we head to Coatbridge. Stop at Tebay. Other than that the only eventful element of the whole journey is it pisses down. Arive just before 7.00pm.

Cheap Entertainment

Finally get round to watching 'Kidnapped', the Michael Caine version. I've a soft spot for it as a movie for two reasons. Firstly Michael Caine is in several movies I enjoy. Secondly I have a memory of watching it with Gert (my maternal Grandmother) in the house at Queens Avenue one afternoon. A day on which we marvelled at the cockney version of a Scottish accent coming out of Caine's mouth. It was only years later I got round to reading the book.

There are plans afoot for a summer holiday in Scotland. To be honest I'm looking forward to it, it's a part of the world that has wormed its way into my affections over the years. Monst is looking at renting a lighthouse which strikes me as a cool idea. No doubt for me as usual the Heilan' Coo's'll be an essnetial sight.
