  • Per ardua ad astra…

    …or at least via the A917. Yesterday the DB Astronomy Club was asked to host a star party in the grounds of the rather posh Fairmont Hotel near St Andrews.  It was rumoured that a local business man was flying in his dinner guests by helicopter from his private lighthouse (where do you land a…

  • Totally Ruby*

    Well, who has the day off tomorrow?  Oh, that would be me.   Expect pictures of daffodils as I venture out into the unknown terra firma a.k.a. our back garden.   Someone has to tidy it up… There is a new protocol in this blog thing which results in me deleting everything I have just typed.  Flipping…

  • Gang Forth

    Lovely lunch at the Wee Restaurant in North Queensferry today, with Rosemary. Having lived here for over thirteen years, and shared our lives with chums, we have many reasons for feeling ambivalent about the Forth Bridges, which I will not go into here.  But I took some pictures of the FB, resplendent in her fresh…

  • Normal service…

    ..is being resumed as soon as possible, if you do not know then let me advise that this site was hacked, massive thanks to Alison for alerting us.  Paul has been very busy working on it since then and the message as always people is back up, back up, back up. In other news, we’ve…

  • Phew

    We’ve been fortunate enough to see three nieces, two sisters, one nephew, one nephew in law, one aunt and one great nephew today, amongst others.   Plus two chameleons.

  • Manic Monday

    ….but lovely hugs from my nieces Fiona and Kerry.  Of such stuff is a golden day made.

  • Blitzed

    ..emm, a bit tired to think of a snappy title for the post, but otherwise well.  And there’s so much on the go!  I have shattered a shibboleth by booking a seat to see Madonna at Murrayfield in July.  I’ve discussed the Elton gig in Falkirk with  Margaret  (not going, too pricey and no longer…

  • Biz biz biz

    .. busy So, we went away for the weekend, amidst loads of other stuff and keeping in touch with family, but we had a couple of lovely days in Blairgowrie.  We stayed at the Altamount House, which hosted Marika and Rob’s wedding in 1999, thirteen years ago.   It was at a wedding subsequent to that…

  • Gigg(l)ing

    Just home from another excellent evening at St Peter In Chains church in Inverkeithing, where After 8 Mince played a Burns Supper gig.  Thanks to the organisers, the people who brought food for the lovely buffet, all the raffle prize donators, everyone who sang along and to Joe for deciding to invite us there in…
