They think it's all over...

Up at 6:50 in readiness for the early ferry...

Packed and out into the driving rain at 7:30 and checked in at the terminal by 7:45...

Disaster as the sailing was cancelled due to the weather...

I had a snooze...



Nipped to the trusty Co-op for a couple of breakfast baps...

At 10:15 the captain decided to take a chance on a sailing at 11 – still didn’t look great...



We drove the car onto the ferry and took our seats for a stormy crossing – docking at Ardrossan was a bit hairy...



Fitting that the last pic of the holiday should be of such dreadful weather conditions...

Finally back on the mainland at around 12:15 and we were heading for Armadale at top speed to pick up Meg the Black Cat...

We had to turn down Julia’s offer of a lovely pasta based lunch as Anne needed to get back in time to get to Tynecastle for Hearts v Kilmarnock and so, bombing along again, we were back at Crispycat Towers at 1:50...

I took Anne to her mum’s then drove them both close to the ground as they were a bit behind their usual schedule. Within an hour of arriving back in Edinburgh Anne was in her seat in the stand...

Hearts went 1-0 down on the stroke of half time having had a player sent off mid way through the first half. However, they put on a strong display in the second half and gained a deserved 1-1 draw. They now sit 11th in the table (2nd bottom) but maybe they’ve turned a corner...

At home I was monitoring Queen of the South who ran out 3-1 winners in a six pointer at home to Clyde – they’re up to 5th but it’s a super-tight league...

In the evening, on tape, the final two episodes of Robin Hood followed by Lead Balloon and Dara O’Briain accompanied by a lovely lasagne or me and pizza for Anne...

We rounded the day off with an FA Cup special from “Match of the Day”

Highlight of the Day : Back home with Meg the Black Cat
