Player of the Week - Again

Building Works May 28

More woodwork, the dormer is taking shape and the wooden cladding is on. We're starting to get a sense of the interior shape but it's still pretty far from weatherproof.

Player of the Week

COTY

The Ringtones sang at the North East heats of the Choir of The Year competition at The Sage in Gateshead. It's a magnificent venue. Mixed feelings about competitive singing apart, we had a grand time anyway.

We have steel, which means that the exterior framework is taking shape.

Serenade

Louis and I got out our instruments and sang a wee song for Helen. I forget what it was but it can't have had more than a couple of chords :-)

Father and Son

Idlewild

Helen and I went to Museum Lates, where we ran across about a hundred work chums and acquaintances, not to mention Roddy Woomble and his pals Idlewild, doing an acoustic set. Very nice it was too.

As Easy As...

... falling out of a tree.

Dalmeny Dodder

We met up with Grandma & Papa for the usual stroll down along the Dalmeny coastal path from South Queensferry to Hound Point. We made a fire, just for a change.

Building Works May 7

Scaffolding's up, the beginnings of the new ridge line are in place, and we have a new boiler!

Legal

Later the same day, we met up with la famille Millar in honour of Calum's 18th birthday. Holyrood 9A was the venue, they do splendid burgers and beer, the latter of which Calum was able to partake for the first time ever. Really.

The Fall Guy

In glorious slo-mo.

Cramond With C&M

Catherine, Matt & family visited from London. We put on our rain gear, made packed lunches and met up with the McKees for a stroll down Cramond way. We walked up to the Cramond Falls Cafe then back downriver and out the causeway to Cramond Island and the now inevitable seaside fire.
