Skype/poll

Well, we tried - but nobody Skyped us and we couldn't get through to Lucy who was the only one online.

My poll has finished - I'll need to think about another one now! Somebody apparently doesn't like the photos and videos - strange - I thought that would be unanimous.

I forgot to mention about our trip to the annual CAMRA meeting to select the entries for next year's Good Beer Guide. We get 37 or 38 entries for Grampian and the Northern Isles, and out of our 385 members, only 22 actually bothered to vote! The pub of the year is also voted on and the Marine in Stonehaven was again voted as best in Aberdeenshire and best overall. Archibald Simpson's was a surprise winner of the best Aberdeen city pub.

It was a different way to spend Saturday afternoon - particularly when there was a key game going on at Pittodrie.

Golf today was good (see golf blog for photos) and this afternoon, it's been the Sunday Times and occasional footy. This evening, we've been watching some of the Best of Motown that BBC Four have been featuring this weekend - plus catching up with some Earl - and we've decided to give Mad Men another chance tonight - if it doesn't grab us this time, then it'll be deleted from the planner. Oh - and we caught up with the penultimate episode of Oz and James trek round the country to find the drink that best symbolises Britain - this week it was the West Country - cider in Somerset, Plymouth Gin, Devon wines and Morris Dancing in Cornwall!
