Holiday weekend

That was the Glasgow September weekend holiday that just happened.  It was pretty good, and saw me and Karen heading to Stirling Castle for a "Meet the archaeologist" talk, which was really interesting.  It was a guy who had been working at the castle, excavating, since the 70's.  Really good talk, and gave a better insight into what you were actually seeing, when we went round the castle after the talk.


On the holiday Monday, Karen didn't have the day off, so I went climbing with a couple of friends from work.  We were dodging the rain, and ended up in Dunkeld, north of Perth.  We got climbs each in, but I only completed one.  There was a point on the second that I just couldn't see how to get past, but it turned out I would have needed to use a hand jam to get past and onto the rest of the route.  Having never done this, it never even crossed my mind to try it.

All in all a fun weekend, and it makes this working week a four day one, which is always good.
