Well, it's been a week since I blogged so I guess it's time to update the diary. What's been happening since we had our weekend at the Fringe? Recovery is the first phase - took me a couple of days to feel OK again after a hard weekend pounding the streets of Edinburgh until the wee hours of the morning.
Got some golf on Wednesday evening - and, would you believe it, there's only two more Wednesdays left in our Summer Quaich competition - after next week, it's too dark to play 18 holes after work - how sad. Even daytime/weekend golf will be phasing out over the next 5-6 weeks as we head through autumn to winter. The end of season events are being organised now.
Still, you didn't really want to hear about golf, did you? Too bad - it's my blog and I wanted to let you all know how sad it now feels to realise the summer is slipping away.
We had Luca for 2 days last week - the usual Tuesday and, on Friday, he stayed over as Gary and Carole hit the town on nights out. Talking about Gary, do you all realise he's now hassling me because I haven't been to get my kilt fitted yet? After all those months of inactivity Gary, how could you? (I'm only teasing really - I'm going along this week).
We had a lovely afternoon on Saturday - we'd been invited along to Hugh and Jackie Riches' for an afternoon party/meal. What a glorious day it was - Jo and I walked down to the old coach house down at Bellfield/KGV park. I thought I'd take a picture of Jo and the flowers on the main street - standing in the bus turning circle. Of course, a bus came along just at the wrong time - Jo thought it was hilarious:
We stayed in and watched another episode of The Wire on Saturday night - that's us on to Series 4 now, so I guess we're hooked.
Monday morning, it was back to my GP again - he wanted to check on how I was getting on with the beta blockers, and to prescribe my statins - plus check on when I'm going to get my knees done (1st October). He read some of the specialist's report out - he said the next stage for me after the arthroscopy would be a complete - not partial - knee replacement - hopefully not too soon, however.
Going to St Andrews on Friday - it's been a while since we played any of the old links courses there. Whoops, sorry - I'm back to golf again! Hope to go and see The Girl Who Played With Fire this weekend or next week - the second of the Millennium series' films is released on Friday. Only problem is that Jo hasn't finished the book yet - best get cracking, Jo!
