The Great Gillespian Gallivant - Day 6

Day six was a lot of fun. Did some mooching around the shops in the morning – which is always a good way to spend your day – and went to Edinburgh in the evening to watch an ice hockey game. It was my first and was the Breahead Clan v Edinburgh Capitals. The Clan won 8-0 which was pretty good as that was the team we were there supporting.

I learnt three things:

1. I enjoy watching ice hockey very much
2. some chants just sound utterly rubbish in an English accent, especially when surrounded by Glaswegians who can make reading a shopping list sound vaguely threatening
3. leaping up in excitement and clapping when your team score while holding a cup of coffee will inevitably lead to a coffee spilling incident.

Today is day seven and shamazipan 's birthday. She’s off out shortly and I was supposed to be skiing today but the winds are too high and they can’t run any lifts so the mountain is closed. I am very sad but it means bonus time with moonlitcactus and rout_obsessie so that is never a bad thing. And I have finally been introduced to potato scones, which given that my Dad is both Scottish and a chef is an utter travesty.

Tonight we are all going out for shamazipan 's birthday so there is a teeny chance that day seven’s video may also be of the not entirely sober variety…
