Kelly's birthday

It's a very happy 29th birthday to our Kelly, who's still training like mad for the 3 Fells hill climbs - run Forrest, run! Lucy's right about her changing hairstyles - here's one from 2000 with her pal Sophie and Ross lurking in the background:


Kelly's primary class in Banchory - even then, she had to be different:

More recently, with the hair extensions in 2005:

New camera Craig? Why? What happened to the old one? We had Betty Stogs on draught at the golf club last weekend - but only for one day - it was so popular that the cask was finished in 24 hours! Looking forward to our next trip down in July - how's the research going for the Trevose area?

Got so much golf to play this week, I'm feeling tired at the prospect - it's the busiest time of the year. I'm taking a night off golf tomorrow and have invited a few pals round to watch the Champions League final on our big plasma screen.

End of the week

We went over to Gary and Carole's on Thursday to meet Carole's Dad (Mike) and stepmum (Val) and have a bite to eat. We had a nice time with them and Luca was as good as gold as usual - he enjoyed the breadsticks:

Luca and I played "peek-a-boo":

Apart from that, it's just been golf, golf, golf - although I did manage to finally get the back cleared of leaves today - with a little help from Ross. Incidentally, he's sold both his Saab's - the blue wreck will finally be out of our driveway in the next week or so, and the brown one is going in September - to a guy in Somerset - to whom he has to deliver it!

An invitation to a wedding was popped through our letterbox this afternoon - from Mr. & Mrs. Hepburn for the wedding of Peter and Theresa - cue much scratching of heads - eventually I sussed it must be Peter Fitzpatrick - and Gary confirmed this - we're away in USA then anyway.
