Up at 6:15 and enjoying the music of UK while I updated the “Albums of the Month” blog, the “Albums of the Year” blog and this blog...

Took a look at the “Podcasts” blog and found that my next CD acquired will trigger the next 10 track edition...

Just after 8, as I waited for Anne to waken up, I listened again to the new LP – first time for a few days and it’s holding up nicely...

Breakfast at home accompanied by some Pink Floyd classics courtesy of Mr Gilmour in Gdansk...

Then off down to Dumfries for the Queens v Clyde game...

We stopped off at Auchen Castle near Beatock for a quick lunch...



Superb soups – haddock and potato for me, asparagus and peapod for Anne...

Tasty...

I was apprehensive about today’s game – Queens needed a point to be safe again in the 1st Division...



They were two up within 15 minutes, three up in twenty five but they have had an annoying habit this season of losing strong leads so, when Clyde pulled one back before half time, I was still nervy...

However Queens’ fourth came just after the restart and this was followed by a further three in quick succession – 7-1 was the final score...

Here are the celebrations...



All eight goals were superb, four cracking shots from the edge of the box, a superbly struck free kick (for Clyde) and three individual efforts involving much dribbling and beating of defenders...

This is Stephen Dobbie, the Division’s top scorer...



He bagged four of Queens’ seven goals today – what a player...

The official report is here...

Of course we did feel sorry for Clyde (for whom I have a soft spot as my mum’s uncle once played for them and was a regular in their Directors’ Box from the fifties to the seventies)...

A quick chat with the guys I was with at the Partick game a fortnight ago – they were in the QoS Directors’ Box today – then off back up the road...

This time we stopped in Biggar and enjoyed an extremely tasty (and mightily big) Indian meal at the Taj Mahal...



Poppadoms, mixed pakora, lamb karahi each...

Stuffed as we drove the last leg home to find this on teletext...



A taped “Robin Hood” and “Law and Order” then perusing the net re the game, then writing this then off to bed a happy fat man...

Highlight of the day : Let’s see...the mighty QoS methinks...
