A Very Fine Nose

A morning of intensive shopping. The money departed from my little plastic card with alacrity - by the time I was finishing up in Oddbins the transaction was halted for authorisation. Apparently the retailer has to do this after every 10,000th transaction or summat. Nothing to do with me, then. Got Maw's whisky out the shop without further incident.
And then to Tynecastle for a pulsating game of soccerroo. Really terrific entertainment - two teams actually having a go. Some folks afterwards were frustrated we never got the winner; we were equally lucky to hold on to the draw in injury time. And it's not everyday that they play Captain Beefheart at half time. It was so good that we had to go and chat about it at length, finishing up with round of Springbank 15 years old old. If anyone is wondering what to get me for Christmas, you can get it here..
