At least I hope I won't need this blog title tomorrow. Tonight Scotland play away to Lithuania in the second qualifying game of the European Championship. We got off to a great start with the hammering of the Faeroe Islands but as bad as they are and as good as we were tonight will be a tougher game. the lithuanians drew with Italy on the italians home soil after all. We really need maximum points from our opening games from possibly the weakest teams in our group. We have France and Italy to contend with later, the World cup finalists and we also have the Ukraine and Georgia.

I was reeading an article today on how a primary School head teacher is in court on 10 charges of assault. She physically abused a number of children over a period of time through various levels of violence and humiliation. These people are scum of the lowest order. http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/scotland.cfm?id=1308602006

I feel that I'm slightly in limbo at the moment. It think it might just be fatigue but I'm not sure. I'm also a little under the weather but the doctor told me this morning that there's no chest infection so just one of those cold/cough things that lingers around. My poor wee boy has the same thought the bugger gave it to me. It's not always nice to share. Anyhoo, I'll be starting a new job in October so at the moment I'm working my notice in my current role. I don't have any motivation but I'm trying to remain professional and keep on top of things.

What day is it? It's all blurring into one at the moment. I can hardly gather my thoughts. Cameron went back to crche today but I staayed home. I needed some time. I've come down with the bug he had or has adn it's not the best. I've had worse right enough and I* don't want to blow it out of proportion but I suppose between work and single parenting and now sickness I'm just worn down a little. I veg'ed out for the morning in front of the TVbut strangly I couldn't relax. I had this nagging sensation that I had to be up and tidying the house, washing the dishes, washing clothes.

Well, I've had worse days but I've had better too. I spoke to my wife after trying to be put through to the correct room for a while. Why is it no-one undertands my dulcet Scottish tones? Why does 2 sound like 3? Not to me it doesn't. I can't even order pizza in Ireland so it's not an Indian thing. Anyway, all is well and my wife is safe and well in deepest darkest Bubaneshwar. Cameron was in reasonable form in the early evening. I was able to feed him without any problems, he gobbled up all that was on offer.

Sunday did not start well. Our little lad was a cranky cantankerous little beast due to more teething problems. This is resulting in his nose streaming snot everywhere. He also has a slight cough so I think he might have a wee cold. He ranges from being perfectly happy and smiley, he has a beautiful full-face smile, to a litle demon that demands to be carried and hugged at all times. We left for the airport at 11am giving us plenty of time to allow my wife to check in for her flight to London for the connection to Mumbai.
