Nothing to do with my life in Japan, but I have been totally inspired by the Scottish performance against the French last night in Paris. Not so long ago, Scottish football was in dire straights. Now we find ourselves at the top of our group with 3 games left!!!! Who would have thought it at the start of the Euro 2008 campaign??!!??I woke up this morning in a grumpy mood and gingerly walked to the computer to see how Scotland got on against the French (World Cup runners up). Looking through the cracks in my fingers, it began to dawn on me that we didn't lose by 2 or 3, we actually WON again! I've been over the moon for the whole day and now I'm just about heading to my local for a couple of beers to belatedly celebrate the win.
Qualification is still a tall order but some pride has been restored to the Scottish game. Fantastic!!!
P.S. This clip says 40yrds. I think it was a wee bit more.

Yeh they did really well!!! Everyone talking about it over here of course! Some even planning a trip to watch the next one!
The ball must have "moved". What exactly does he mean?? I think that was Murdo MacLeod (my second cousin) but he said over and over again that "the ball moved." Yes, it moved and dipped, just like any great shot.
Moving or dipping - whatever!!
Yeh Murdo MacLeod is connected to you via the Davidson side with a Broadford link! Who knows what you could have achieved in Football if you had really tried!!
I was always crap at football. I made some slight improvements in later years but I can never claim to have had talent.
Dear Kane,
Hello, it's Junko, Yuki's old friend from London. It's been a really long time and I don't know if you remember me but I went to your wedding in Isle of Sky in 2000 and visited you in Edinburgh to see a baby Clara in early 2001. I've lost in touch with Yuki for many many years but, out of blue, I just found your blog and as I read it through I became sure that this is Kane that I know! It's so nice to know that you seem to be having such a lovely time in Japan. Please say hello to Yuki and my email is: juju_tsukada(at)yahoo.co.jp
All the best,
Junko
Hi Junko
I have given Yuki your mail address. She is really happy to hear from you. Thanks for reading the blog.
Cheers
Kane
Hi Junko!
just clicked on the video thingy and what a laugh, the commentator was going off his head!!! Well no wonder, what a goal!
I preferred the original video I had on but Murdo MacLeod annoyed me by saying that "the ball must have moved" over and over again.
What is worse than Michael Jackson looking after your kids?
The McCanns taking them on holiday.

But you have seen 24, right? I understand that Yuki's father is a fan of Jack Bauer and the boys at CTU.
Never seen 24 and don't know Jack Bauer.
Do they have Eastenders in Japan?
No, but Dr Who was on a 7pm. Aliens had occupied No. 10 Downing Street.
I am not a fan or Dr Who.
Do you get Reporting Scotland then?
also still a bit of a Dutchman left in you Kane?
Have you changed your mobile number or are you just ignoring me you muppet?
I would imagine they are ignoring you!!!
It's OK - he HAS changed his mobile number and I now have a note of the new one.
I am back!
