Friday Night, actually had three options here, a leaving do at work, running a quiz night, or the YIK night out, watching Marc and Omar's band. I had promised to do a who wants to be a millionaire quiz at the Water Sports Club, with thewife, but all I really do is keep score, so I persuaded someone else to do that for me so that I can go to the gig. Fine show it was too. Weird though for folks their age to be playing their own tunes, that if I were pushed to pigeon-hole them would be a la late seventies Fleetwood Mac. Followed up by Spleen who are pros.

Saturday. the season beginneth in earnest first home again versus Partick Thistle, beautiful summer day,and the beginning of the Marymass Festival, which has attracted ten year old Stewart away from his first available football game to go round a variety of crap stalls and a bouncy castle. Get your priorities in order young man! Final score 2 - 1 to Killie. Bloody lucky really it was a pitiful performance against 10 men for most of the match, with Colin Meldrum maintaining his woeful start to the season. Jeffries must accept a lot of the blame his tactics, particularly towards the end, lacked ambition and desire. It had better get better.

Saturday night, I scanned a hundred photos of Jim Stewart while thewife made dinner, potato and mascarpone gratin. Bloody good it was, followed by far too much wine, and what was a fabulously clever film, Adaptation. thewife went out back to see the Marymass firework display, loud it was, very loud. Still managed to fall asleep though and remained there for a very long time. I will not mention thewife's strop.
