Rare photo of me in outdoor sports-related activity this week
Said 'sports' included speed pool (I was laughable), toss the boot (I did rather well at tossing), horse shoes (narrowly avoided injury), giant darts (did pretty good), giant Jenga (didn't really add much), golf pitching on the wii (not bad for first time anywhere near a wii console), command task (we did good but all I did was hold a rope), basketball shoot-the-hoop (we did best but mostly down to Mickey, who's the one in shorts on the left), boules (I was one of the better scores but knackered my thighs with repetitive crouching) and golf ball throwing (I think I got one in a bucket).
I was handicapped first by being an unfit 46 year old who rarely watches sports, let alone gets stuck in any time, and by being constantly distracted by competitors (three of whom may be in this picture). Imagine watching guys in football shorts bending over the pool table ...

Armed Forces Day 2010
Find out more about Armed Forces Day
If you love a man (or woman) in a uniform and want to show your support ... or just get up close then there's plenty of opportunity coming right up.
The second Armed Forces Day happens on 26th of June this year. For 2010 the celebrations centre on Cardiff on the day, but events are planned around the country honouring serving personnel and veterans alike.
The Scottish events calender is launched next week, with the first major diary date being the Stirling Military Show on the 19th. If you want something two weekends running you can! Most of the big cities (Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen, Edinburgh) hold their event on the 26th.
I'm thinking of checking out Stirling and Edinburgh and will bring my camera, hoping for summer weather ...

Marines are from Mondas ...
Did anyone else see this pic in yesterday's papers and immediately think of this:
The guys are marines from 45 Cdo based at Arbroath, but out in deepest Norway on exercise. As I played a very small part in getting PA out there I was rather pleased with the result.
