A relatively early start to get Alex out for 0850 and into a lift to his game at Currie; I followed on by bike; uphill and into the wind. Sheesh. So after a hard fought hour, I arrived in time for kick off for a tight game, ruined by a stiff breeze helping first us and then in the 2nd half the opposition had the use of it.

Possibly their best game for a while; as a team that's only really played together since July / August they're starting to gel and were in the game until the death; losing 2-1 to an avoidable penalty (an attacker sliding in the box - why?) and a wind assisted screamer into the top corner.

The hour outwards was put into perspective by the half hour home, a series of Strava records tumbled as the stiff breeze added natural EPO to the ride.

Lunch and Tom departed for Easter Rd and HIbs latest failure to silence the noisy neighbours; for once the better team hadn't won.

And armed with quesadillas, we watched Arsenal v Man Utd and charged ipads ahead of the incoming work / school week.
