boy in blue


Here's Robbie in his new blue muffler that his grandmother, Pat, made for him and mailed to Scotland. It's over 6 feet long and he is still figuring out how to wear it exactly. He even searched on-line with his flatmate, Jim for info on that question. Jim is from the Orkney Islands way up north and he didn't know! Robbie did demo it around his head kinda like a turban. That would definitely work on a windy cold day. I took this pic while R was on Skype. He's looking forward to the Scotland vs. Ireland (or Wales?) rugby game for which he has a ticket. He's staying up til 4 in the a.m. to listen to the Sharks game. Any suggestions for more fun for Robbie while he is in Edinburgh? He's gone to the Highlands, castle and whiskey distillery tour coming up, Parliament, cheese shops, pubs, ... one cathedral... we might go see him in May or June when the sun will be up till 10 p.m. at night. Thanks to Grammy for knitting Robbie a warm and beautiful scarf!

post script: Scotland defeated ITALY in the Six Nations game today, Feb. 28th in Edinburgh at (Murray Field?). Robbie got to go, being it was one of his goals for this semester. The score was decisive: 26-6.
