Hot
Very hot yesterday, consequently Deep Sea World was relatively quiet when we went there with the Burgess family. In the afternoon we set off to find the western WW1 gun emplacements, which we did not visit last time. They are not as visible as the east set, but we took some pictures on the walk […]

Guide Dog Graduation!
Our guide dog Chloe has graduated, hooray! Now we have a new one called Ollie, a German Shepherd pup.

Coins
I now have the two £2 coins for 2009 although I was beginning to despair, so I ordered them from the mint. I think people make a habit of saving these, the cost on Ebay is ridiculous but they do seem to be in short supply.

Impending Birthday
I never want to be this cool. Had a lovely day yesterday in the office, my desk had been decorated for my impending birthday, there were cards, gifts and a few tears. Having organised and taken part in so many presentations over the years, it’s weird to be on the receiving end, but it was […]

Gig
Played an interesting night in South Queensferry scout hut yesterday, if you can call a beautifully kitted out hall, with extra tent drying facility, on the shore of the river, in the middle of a marina, a hut. The girls thrashed the blokes in the quiz, and the audience, if noisy, were most appreciative, which […]
