Looking back over the past few days...

The weekend came and went, and it was a busy one after all!

On Friday evening, a very large crowd witnessed the first speedway meeting of the season at Armadale, when the Monarchs defeated Glasgow by one point in a meeting that was disappointing in that it didn't reach a full conclusion. After 12 heats out of 15, a big crash in ht 13 meant a long delay, and with two riders off to hospital, the meeting was abandoned. A shame.

On Saturday I took Sandy down to Eyemouth for his first swimming lesson there. He was great in the water, and did everything his instructor told him to. He seemed to really enjoy it all! This will be the routine each Saturday morning from now on. We then dashed up to Edinburgh, where Olivia and I went shopping while Sandy and Anna went to Sandy's Russian lesson.

Today, Sandy had his 5th birthday party at Brewers Fayre in Edinburgh. Fifteen of his pals joined him for an hour of play, followed by a buffet and a cake. Most of the guests had their faces painted, and everyone seemed to have a good time there. Sandy came away with loads of great presents. Olivia also had a good time, and my mum and dad, along with Keith also came along.
