Henry Rollins

Colin went out to see Henry Rollins at the Queens Hall.

Edinburgh Military Tattoo

Went out on Friday night to the tattoo. First time for the children and first time in a long time for Colin and Cherry. Great spectacle and the rain held off during the show.

Caerketton Hill Race

Colin and Max headed out on a very wet Wednesday evening to this hill race in the Pentland Hills. Colin agreed to take it easy and run alongside Max as this was his first senior hill race. It didn't quite work out that way as Max pulled away on the steep ascent and put about 10 m between him and Colin by the stile. He maintained this lead on the rest of the ascent and by the turn was around 15m ahead. Colin pulled back some ground on the steep grassy descent closing it back down to around 10 m and in the end finishing just 12 second behind. Horrible weather but great fun nevertheless.

Exam Results

Max did brilliantly in his Standard Grade exams with top grade in everything except history where he just missed with a 2. Celebrations at Pizza Express and on Saturday we went to the cinema to see Super 8 which was good.
