On our way

From http://ianrstewart.blogspot.com/

Waiting just now at T5 for our flight to Seattle. Lucy, Scott and the boys are leaving home about now - it will take them about the same time to drive as our flight.

So what have I been up to then? Twice cancelled golf last Wednesday & Thursday, but I played Friday at Banchory and then we were on our Summer Tour down to Dumfries & Galloway - and, boy, did we get lucky with the weather. Friday had been nice in Banchory - 22 C and playing in shorts - but when we drove down on Saturday morning, from about Dundee onwards, it was pretty miserable until we got to the Borders. By the time we teed off at Southerness it was a beautiful afternoon and shorts were in order again. In the end, I played in shorts 4 days running - that's the first time for a while.

On my way down south, we stopped off at Hamilton to have my orthotic insoles/wedges adjusted. So that's them fully fitted now - and so far, so good - no great pains in the right knee yet, although the wedge in the left foot is pretty prominent. Walking the streets of Seattle might be a tester.

Ross is at home - and has a million jobs to oversee when we're away. Good luck, son - and well done to Ross for getting down below his target weight of 12 stone 7 lbs. Now on with the exercise regime!

Bye for now.
