Post Easter

It was the second week of Jo's Easter break and after indulging ourselves in Cornwall, we both went to Bannatyne's gym for an extended lunch break (for me) on Tuesday. Jo tried out the cross trainer, cycling, rowing, some of the leg weights and, a little reluctantly, the stairmaster. We then had a brief swim, jacuzzi and a spot of lunch.

Wednesday evening was our Summer Quaich competition again and the sun continued to shine - can't remember the last time it rained - must be over a month - the golf course badly needs it.

On Thursday, I went back to the gym but Jo couldn't join me as she was meeting Carole and Luca - I thought it was going to be at Portlethen, but it ended up with Carole coming over to Banchory to escape the coastal haar and bathe in the Deeside sunshine.

Friday afternoon, I escaped work early and Jas and I went over to Kintore for a game, followed by a couple of pints at the Legion.

Saturday's weather was even better and there was no hesitation in putting the shorts on for the morning medal. The photo was taken early on on the 3rd tee.

We went to the tip in the afternoon to dump the bags of leaves and twigs that Jo had swept up earlier in the week. Then I set up her Ipod and showed her how to synchronise it and get podcasts.

On Saturday evening, it was Raymond Orr's surprise 60th birthday party at Inchmarlo - it was OK, although I think we both find these surprise events a little cringeworthy - don't ever do this to either of us!
