(Just Dunk and Mr McDonald today, as it's a Thursday and only the two layabouts weren't working. Some people had to do Thursday as they had a club night to prepare the next day. The dirty old man. Anyway, it was a rather nice day, so we decided to head up to Parkhead Station on the Waskerley Way.
This is the translation of Mr McDonald's rather unique blogging style)
