Birthday girl

It's a very happy **st birthday to Carole today - this photo was taken last year at a wedding at Finzean - and, for the non-Scots readers, that's "Fingun" phonetically - it's a small village just past Strachan - "Strawn". Thankfully, neither place is anywhere near Milngavie (Millguy) or Culzean (Cullane) - I think I'll stop there.


On this day in history:

• 1863 - The Gettysburg Address
• 1942 - Calvin Klein born
• 1969 - Pele scores his 1,000th goal
• 1969 - Second Moon landing
• 1979 - Chuck Berry released from prison

and, somewhere in amongst that lot, Carole was born!

Nowt much else to say today - we've got Luca staying tonight - he's just peed his pants and I got a row for it - "you need to watch little kids all the time!" - "I was - he was sitting down and then suddenly stood up dripping - how was I to stop that?".

We've so far escaped the worst of the downpours that the West of Scotland is getting - again - but it's not looking good for the weekend. We've decided not to go to St Andrews tomorrow - we'll save that for another time and just drive down to Glasgow and back on Saturday - hope the roads are OK then.

And here's Kelly's postcard from Oz:

She has obviously forgotten our postal code!
