Hello aw, walcome tae this week's blog.

It's a raither dreich day in Edinburgh the nou, tho yesterday wis braw, sae braw in fack, that whan Michael an I met wi ilk ithir up toun fer a wee chat anent the SLC we waled tae sit outbye in the sun.

We blethered anent twa-thrie things, includin sum projecks fer the site that wull be comin alang suin, pendin gettin the richt equipment. I'll no be gaein intae muckle mair detail the nou, but suffice tae sae I ne'er thocht I'd be spendin time reingin Faeroese estate agent wabsteids...haein said thon, the amount o times Scotland get drawn wi thaim in the Euro Qualifiers I micht as weil buy masel a hous there!

Spaekin o fitbaw, there's guid news this week - thanks tae the humahudie wey o dealin wi siller an accounts at Gretna, Airdrie haes been pit intae the First Division. Ya dancer! We maun bigg wir squad, but wi guid curn o players I jalouse we micht haud wir ain, an at least evyte relegation. The first division sulg be guid fer thrangs this season comin - Plastic Whistle, Morton, Dunfermline...sum guid rivalries in there an aw.

Talk o fitba's gied me a wee norrie: gien a challange tae aw that reads this blog. Gae ontae the Scots Wikipedia (http://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/ ) an pit up a wee (or so sae wee) airticle anent yer team. There's no monie guid airticles anent fitbaw teams on there the nou - maistlins jist an infobox an a sentence sayin whaur they plays their hame gemmes. E'en jist settin ower a bittie frae the Inglis Wiki airticle wad impruive the Scots site nae end. Wha's up fer it?

Weil, I maun awa the nou, but keip yersels weil an daena ocht I wadna dae! Mair o ma haivers neist Friday.
