Hot town, ...... .. ... ....

It certainly doesn't seem like Summer in the City today - at least not in my office - it's Baltic! I've even had to open up the box of the new heater I got and never used last winter. Apparently it's due to get warmer this week and the rest of the country seems to be getting a bit of it already.

Never mind - as long as it's OK for golf tomorrow night at Banchory and Friday afternoon at Edzell - our Midsummer Outing.

Been looking back at all the things I wanted to do over the last year - sporting events, places to visit etc. I've managed quite a few but failed to get to a number of events and I now realise that I was a mite ambitious in my initial plans. I've now even cancelled one of my future planned trips - to London in August to see the England - Pakistan Test at the Oval. The consolation is that we have now been invited to a BBQ that afternoon. I'd also originally put on my wish list the Scotland - England (cricket) match in Edinburgh this Saturday, but that's definitely a no-no now. I'll need to be a bit more cautious next year.

The other major planning I'm working on is the Fringe - we got the programme last week and I'm wading my way through it now to decide what and who we'd like to go and see - and when. It's heavy going - perhaps I should just stick a pin in?

I've also finally got back in touch with Meldrum House re rooms for relatives. No doubt it will change a fair bit between now and October but I thought it would be good to get some names against rooms at the hotel in case they were thinking of releasing some of them.

My GP phoned me back last night so he's arranging to have me referred to the cardiologist - Dr. Paul Broadhurst - at the Albyn again. I decided not to mention that I also want him to refer me to a knee specialist - I'll save that for later.

Just as I finish this, the sun's finally coming out - great. Off to pick up Luca from nursery in a couple of hours.
