A little good news just filtered through. I've gained a place in the Firhill Cup, a football competition taking place at Firhill Stadium, hope of the (in)famous Partick Thistle. Full scale 11-a-side game on the legendary pitch where past masters (such as Alan Hansen, Mo Johnston and Chic Charnley) have plied their trade. It appears I'll be playing in my favoured right back position, so with the clock to kickoff counting down (33 days....) I need to get in training so as to not completely humiliate myself. "But you're almost 36 years old now Gary" you'll be saying, "and you were never much cop even in your pomp". These are valid points, the validity of which I'll accept. But still ignore.
Can you tell I'm excited yet? In other matters, I'm taking Luca to the doctor tomorrow. He's developed a very curious scratching tendency which is causing concern. At present he has prominent scratches across his face and back (most administered as he sleeps) and has even scratched a chunk out the top of his head. I'll update further tomorrow.
Coincidentally Carole also has an appointment tomorrow, as the practice work toward a solution for her lingering infection. The initial prognosis was tonsillitis, followed by a contradiction last week where they claimed it may instead be glandular fever. However, the blood results have come back indicating this is not the case. Similarly to Luca's, I'll post further as soon as I have word.
**Useless fact of the day - A common natural remedy to child scratching on Google is to give the child a starch bath, with the bathwater including one tablespoon of starch, three teaspoons of cold water and one pint of boiling water**
