Everyone I have spoken to has laughed at my 'joke' about Scotland doing the Grand Slam and winning the Six Nations*. Who'd have thunk that we could beat France (who incidently were described at one point today as being second best in the world behind the All Blacks) and be in the top half of the table with last years champions bottom! No wooden spoon for us this year. Okay, I know there are still four games left but with the new coach Scotland have turned themselves around (and next year is world cup year). To beat the favourites for the Grand Slam today after winning just one 6 Nations game in two years, tis a pleasure to be (semi-)Scottish.
In other news: I'm feeling broody having spent time with Tiny Step-Grandkid this weekend. Although they don't do much in the first few weeks of life, there is something special about having a baby fall sound asleep in your arms. (And I need someone to educate about the wonders of Scottish rugby).
*Rugby union tournament played annually between Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland, France and Italy. Grand Slam = winning all five matches; wooden spoon = bottom of table team. See this for a fuller explanation of (one of) the most exciting tournaments around.
