It’s great to be back in Scotland but it still feels like we’re on the Olympics carousel.
I’m sure there will come a time soon when I’m able to have a bit of peace and quiet to take stock of everything that has happened, but it hasn’t come yet!
Since we flew back into the country it’s been one thing after another. I’m certainly not complaining though.
We’ve been blown away by the reception we’ve received everywhere we’ve gone.
Going to Number 10 and meeting the Prime Minister was pretty cool. He’d obviously been watching because he knew what he was talking about.
And then finally coming back to Scotland was brilliant as well.
If anything, it’s about to get even busier!
I’m in Edinburgh as I write this for a catch up with my management Red Sky, and then it’s off to film Scotland Tonight.
Friday afternoon I’m back home at Blair Atholl for the first time, which I’m really looking forward to. I think something has been lined up for the town hall.
But I won’t even get one night with mum and dad because I’m flying to London that night so I can go on a BT Sport Saturday morning programme.
Then it’s back up to Glasgow where we’ll be ringside for the Ricky Burns world title fight (and hopefully a night out with the girls!)
I’m off to London first thing on Monday for more TV, and then on Tuesday it’s Manchester for filming Question of Sport.
You know you’ve done something good when you get invited on to Question of Sport (I’ve been waiting for an invite for long enough!) I just hope I don’t get any stupid questions wrong and can’t spot one of my team on the picture board!
The whirlwind after winning our medal has shown me what a huge difference there is between any other event and the Olympics.
When I was wee I always used to say to my dad that I’d rather win a gold in the Worlds, but, having done that, I can tell you that this is a completely different scale.
It just makes me even more relieved that we won that bronze medal play-off because it would have been such a different scenario coming home to none of this.
For those of you on Twitter, here’s an idea of how things have changed.
When I left for Russia and switched off my account I think I had around 8,000 followers. Now I’ve come back and put it back on, I’ve got nearly 50,000!
* There are so many moments that I’ll look back on in years to come with pride, but I’d have to say that the biggest pressure in a game was definitely our match against Russia in the round robin.
After losing to Canada and Sweden that was one match we really had to win.
Mind you, I probably felt even more pressure after it was all over, and we weren’t even curling. It was for the medal presentation.
There were thousands of people at the Olympic Park. It was absolutely heaving. I kept having to tell myself not to fall over!
* We’ve got a wee break before our next big tournament in Canada, which is at the end of the month.
I’ll probably try and throw a few stones if I get the chance next week, then we’ll get back into our team sessions the week after.
Although we’ve just had our biggest competition for four years, we don’t want to fall flat on our faces, so it’s important we get back into our routine quite soon.
There’s more people watching us now!
