Just a quick one - heading across town now for an early afternoon meeting, then off home - Ross needs a car and Jo's is back in the garage. Still no movement on the old Jag in our drive - grrr.
Dawn and Jordon are coming up about lunchtime tomorrow - hope the sun keeps shining.
Jo's out for lunch in Cults today and tonight she's off to a classical music concert. Why am I telling you this? - Nobody else seems to blog nowadays that's why!
Wish it had been this week instead of next when I was at Wimbledon and Lord's - the weather's been perfect for it, but the forecast next week is not. It's funny - I've been going to the cricket for the last 3 years and I've yet to have a really warm sunny day there - you know, the idyllic sort of day when you can sit and snooze? Unlucky me, I guess.
That's about it for now - got to see Ross later about his idea for setting up a Wi-fi hot spot in the village - it could work if we can persuade some of the pubs, cafes etc to participate.

.. ... .......... when the weather is high
From http://ianrstewart.blogspot.com/
Stinking hot in the office this morning - most unpleasant - and to think I was complaining yesterday about Aberdeen city still having the haar and being cool - not so today! Need to get an AC unit for my office.
So - the big decision this afternoon - will I dog off early and go home to watch England in the World Cup, or will I just pretend it's not happening?
We had Luca as usual yesterday afternoon, but my first sight of him when I came in was him storming off up the stairs in the huff! He'd apparently wanted to pour his drink in front of the TV and Granny wouldn't let him. He soon came round, however.
Now answer me this - what is it in mangoes that stains your fingers and won't come off? Is it natural or are there some additives? I had just one sliver yesterday and my fingers are still all orange and I can't get it off.
Golf tonight - shorts on - but hope the high pressure doesn't trigger off any thunder or rain storms. Wonder if we'll see Jo on the golf course this year? I'll try and go out with her again - perhaps tomorrow and/or Sunday? It may depend, of course, on whether or not Ross' pal finally comes along and removes the Jag from our driveway and gives us access to our garage again - we've been looking forward to clearing it out for the last couple of years, but can't really get near it. We've had yet another promise that it's moving today - but we're not holding our breaths. We're going to have to invoke Plan B soon and try to wheel it down our driveway and over to the D.I.S.C. car park.

I don't care if Monday's blue, ........ ....
From http://ianrstewart.blogspot.com/
What a fabulous start to the day in Deeside, but, as usual, Aberdeen has the haar. It'll burn off - but when? Could be making an early exit today.
I hate losing things - and I've misplaced one of my music memory sticks for the car - how infuriating. I've tried everywhere but no luck so far - I can tell it's gonna bug me for a while.
The rooms for the wedding are now booked:
Hotel:
• Room 1 – Four Poster: Bride and Groom (Fri and Sat nights for bride)
• Room 2 – Standard Double: Brian and Mary Hanson
• Room 3 – Superior Double: Ian and Jo Stewart (Friday and Saturday)
• Room 7 – Standard Double: Barry and Helen Stewart
• Room 8 – Superior Double: Dawn and John Campbell
Stables:
• Double Upstairs: Mr and Mrs Armstrong + 2 x z beds (Fri and Sat)
• Double Upstairs: Kelly and Ross Stewart
• Double Upstairs: Scott and Lucy Lesina + 2 x z beds
• Double Downstairs: Lauren Hughes and partner
• Double Downstairs: Meghan and Jordon Hughes
• Double Downstairs: Kieran Hughes and Partner
We're staying 2 nights - it'll give more room at our house for Kelly and Lucy and family - but we've been unable to get a room at the hotel on Friday night for Brian and Mary so I've booked them in at the Redgarth instead.
Hope these arrangements are OK with everyone?
