Friday update

Not much to say. Been busy - down in Edinburgh on Wednesday. Went to Govenment Offices and was told that the guy we were due to see was in Peterhead - his Dad was ill. No problem, we said - we're also meeting xxxx - sorry she's off ill today! Bit of a wasted trip really - could have used the day more productively by staying in Aberdeen. We also saw our bankers again - I've been pushing them for months on their charges - I was convinced they were ripping us off, but they kept saying everything was OK on their side. Well, finally we got a confession - still without details - that they had been over-charging us interest!

Finally managed a game of squash doubles last night - after a couple of aborted attempts this week - and had a nice pint of Santa's Swallie in the Learney afterwards. This afternoon, we're heading for our annual - but possibly last - trip down to St Andrews to stay overnight at the Fairmont. We're treating ourselves to a massage as well! Not sure what we're going to do for dinner yet, but Jo's made a special request that we go down to Crail in the morning for a walk along the beach there - as recommended by Anne and her Mum.
