Of course, on Easter Sunday, Gary, Carole and Luca came over for dinner - Jo was delighted they could make it. The eggs were all labelled and hidden in the house but it didn't take Luca long to locate them all and a chocolate feast followed.
The golf season is in full swing now and I'm trying my best to play a bit more than I have done in the last few years since my knee op - I've been partially successful, but my left knee still troubles me after 10-12 holes and my scores reflect that - usually a good outward half followed by a much poorer inward nine. This week, I had a tie on Sunday, a Seniors match on Monday, our usual Wednesday Quaich and then it's Gleneagles tomorrow (Friday). I was also picked for the Seniors match today (Thursday) at Culter, but I pulled out as I knew this was at least one match too much.
Last Saturday we had friends over for dinner. It was due to be the Cooks and the Corbetts, but Dan was a late withdrawal due to illness. We were fortunate to get a late replacement in Ken and Irene Page. Archie Cook had a sneezing fit at the table and knocked his glass of red wine over, spilling all over Ken's trousers and his seat. All was well in the end, however, as we managed to clean everything up OK.
I've been recording some more shows for River Dee Radio and have updated our schedule so it now reads:
- Sunday - 1970's part 1
- Monday - 1970's part 2
- Tuesday - Body Parts (new)
- Wednesday - Rock & Roll
- Thursday - Cigarettes & Alcohol (new)
- Saturday - Female Fronted Bands
(We don't do Fridays just now)
The two newest shows can also be listened to and/or downloaded at:
Andy & Gerry did the two 1970's shows when I was in Australia but the rest are me solo. I'm hoping however that all three of us will get together soon and do some more live and pre-recorded shows.
We've now ordered the replacement shower cubicle, shower and cistern for our WC. Last night we had a meeting with the fitter, who happens to live nearby in Birch Grove - right next door to Jo's pal Anne.
I'm currently attempting to restore an old garden bench seat that Anne and Leslie were throwing out. It's seen better days and I'm not sure how well it will come up, but I'll persevere anyway.
