Weds night/Thu morning

Don't wish the blogs to become b......g sessions, but all I did was comment on the shape of Jo's scones! She used to make tall, round ones, but yesterday they were, as she said herself, buttery shaped. They tasted delicious and I said so - Ross got credit and I got brickbats - boo hoo!

Kelly, go to Start, Control Panel, Sound - your speakers should be listed and should have a green tick against them. Then phone me!

Continuing late night video watching, the 1999 holiday moved from Virginia to New Orleans, where Lucy joined us. There's also a tour of the historic house we stayed in in the French Quarter by our host and landlord, which included a look round his recording studio. He used to be the drummer for Aretha Franklin - the only white guy in a 17 piece band - and played on epic recordings like Respect, Think etc. When he left the band, he started writing songs and had some hits, including Patches by Clarence Carter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuzJxNQgtjo&feature=related) - a big hit in the UK and US in 1970.

Unlucky Thistle again - just 3 minutes from the end of extra time with penalties looming, Rangers scored a late winner. Check my football blog to see Thistle's superb first half equaliser after Kris Boyd's fantastic Marco van Basten like strike which put Rangers in the lead.
