"The Show"

Savvy had her first ballet show yesterday at the Macrobert Mainhouse (460 seats, full!).  She really loved every minute.
As we've opted out of the £20 dvd and £8 photos, enjoy some of our post show pics outside.  Plus ice cream, of course. (There was no way we were getting out of buying the show costume!)

Robbie and TEAM

Ok - The last of the TEAM trilogy.  I messed up the facebook posting -it has a typo in teh video and I couldn't embed...hoping this one works!  Go Robbie!

X Marks the Spot


She looks kind of sweet. (This is Sav yesterday on "dress down day" for sports relief.  She was distraught.  "Dress down!? Trackies?"  She packed a dress in her bag, of course, "just in case".)

But don't be fooled.  P-ed off at being told to go to her room after cheeky behaviour, she pulled out the markers.  We've already been through the drawing-on-walls ordeal, but carpet!?

Glen thinks this X marks the spot where Sav is going to burry me when she's done with me!

Glentress Day One

 
Head torches were a hit inside and outside the wigwams.

Kids were asked to collect wood for the fire...
 
Small tree was a no go, so they went bigger (?).

Food was yuck at the new cafe (water ok though).  Bring back the Hub.

Cute boy. Cute Dad.

Good times at the BBQ table with Team G.
 

Soother junkie: Need a fix. Need a fix.

Marshmallows.  A must.
 
Night time stroll. 

Glentress - Day Two



Morning frost (a serious chill) but we were cosy inside.

The boy is OFF. He can walk. ish.

Face plant bruising.

Leave this boy beside a bike and he'll play and spin and giggle.

Had to leave the boy sleeping in his backpack while I was out filming the rest of the crew.

Glentress Teaser

The Blog site is acting up.  So this is just a teaser until we can do more.
Great weather. Great trip.

Who will knock the racket down first...


A little tennis. A little park. Loving the sun.

A perfect record

Glen has recently taken up Krav Maga - Israeli street fighting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krav_Maga.

So far he has a perfect record in his fights.  He's had the cr@p kicked out of him by:

-An overweight old man
-A heavy smoker
-A twiggy girl and
-A teenage boy

By the sounds of it, I don't see any chance of putting a mark on the scoreboard soon, so the perfect record might sustain for a while.

Best Olympic Trials Quote So Far

Robbie wins his 2nd gold, again inside the qualifying time.
Interviewer:  Wow Robbie.  What have you been eating?
Robbie: Three years of hard work.

London Olympic Trials

Five on the team so far. Camon' Scots.
A few more days to go and then there's the back up selection meet in June. Could get as many as 8 for the Games. Maybe more like 7...we'll see what happens tonight!

Lovely venue - pool is on the left.

With one of my favourite sponsors at the London pool - Head of European Corporate Responsibility from Kellogg's.

Home Safe


Off the ferry. Mr Strawberry and Mom take Team Roberts home.  Rocking Glen's 80's Frogskins, if I may say so myself.
Little guy's exhausted. He didn't take a car nap like MegaDob.
