Another 5 hours on the train and by 1:00 we're back in my home town of Greenock. First up was a trip to my aunts house where I was meeting up with a few cousins before we walked down to the world famous Cappielow Stadium to watch the mighty Greenock Morton do battle against their arch rivals St Mirren in the Renfrewshire cup final. Best cup system ever. No qualifying games just the two teams meeting each year to see who is the best in the region. 1-1 after full time it was straight to penalties. St Mirren won 5-4 but since they are a premier league team and Morton aren't I say we won.
From there is was off to my cousin Donna's house for a barbie and some drinks. Wasn't expecting a big one.... let's just say I needed to look at the camera the next day to see what went on. Nikki (whose house we are staying at) was not a well girl and spent the morning driving the porcelain bus. Needless to say I wasn't in the best form and spent the best part of the day to get off the couch.
That night was another barbie back at Donna and Dave's this time a little more subdued and more of the family was there. The little ones have all taken a stretch and the bigger ones are just the same : ) Always great to catch up with them all even if it is only for a few hours.
The rest of the weekend was spent shopping (finally got myself a Morton top) and also on Monday night we caught up with my dad's side of the family at the James Watt hotel. Good meal and again great company. Other than that it was across the water to Dunoon to see my Uncle Sammy's side of the family for lunch... boy was that a big lunch.
Tonight it's off to Glasgow for the night so we don't have to have a early one before our bus down to Manchester tomorrow. Curry mile is just 24 hours away... Get on it!!
