My Life's Ingredients

Sitting here, still with my sinusitis, and am just feeling bleh! Decided against going to my 2nd Ceroc Class in Edinburgh because of the stuffy nose/head, and it's probably for the better, as I need to be fighting fit for a football-filled weekend (well... at least be OK to survive ... fighting fit at the moment is a bit much I think!!). DH is upstairs, sleeping ... his Miami Dolphins are playing this night (1:30am - 4:30am or so) and he has to go to work tomorrow... I'm staying up and see if I can watch at least half the game. ;) I've got lots to catch up with, am TOTALLY behind with Shimelle's class, and haven't started on Jessica Sprague's new free class, "Holidays in hand". Something I am probably going to catch up with tomorrow. As for the weekend ... (American) Football will be back in full force over the next month - The Edinburgh Wolves have their ROOKIE TRYOUT DAY on Saturday. Junior Wolves have their 1st training session before Xmas on Sunda...

Yes, I know - it's VERY early right now ... and I'll probably sleep until 12ish today... but I decided to watch the late night Football game Philadelphia Eagles v Dallas Cowboys. Why? You may ask? I am not sure ... just felt like it, and the fact that my Fantasy Football QB, McNabb, has quite a rollercoaster game again (interceptions, then coming back with scrambles and good passes, back to interception). Possibly that. :o I had a fabulous day yesterday, will post some info when I am more awake later today... ;) But here's the team photo of my 2nd team... ;) Introducing: The Stirling Clansmen 2009

From my Feedjit Widget I can see that there have been a couple of hits searching for photos of the Stirling Clansmen vs Clansmen Alumni scrimmage from last week... Now that Coach Orr got his copy and has posted most pics on Facebook I can post the photos here as well... ;) Enjoy!

Today's scrimmage was quite funny with a very depleted Alumni side (Ironman Football ... everyone playing both ways and only 1 player getting a breather per drive!). The current Squad was not back to full strength due to mid-term either. It was a glorious day up in Stirling, with only a little "spittle" for a couple of minutes about halfway through. Got a lot of good shots as well, interesting lighting as I did half of the pics shooting into the sun, which gave the photos a hazy look, like the one of Shane's (I think!) catch! I was a bit disappointed that 2 alumni players and ex Wolves, Johnny Bannerman and Adam "Mung" Smith, didn't take part in the scrimmage... would have been great to catch up with them again (but I am going to see Johnny on Thursday anyway). However, managed to catch up with some 2009 Wolves after end of season (sometimes it's weird after spending so much time with them for 4 months and you suddenly don't see them e...
