It has been a pleasant weekend

and we had a nice dinner at home last night with a friend. Today turned out to be much better than I was expecting, which is good news for the participants in the Many Hill Show. I don't know if I would be keen on 10+ hours on the mountain bike in the pouring rain......


Tune of the Day:  My Ashes    by Porcupine Tree

At last..... the end of the birthday season (at least briefly)

and I can get back to a normal type of life......  :-)



Sadly, there is no tune of the day.......

September is a busy time

and I have just gotten off the phone after wishing baby brother Steven a happy birthday. Angus and Campbell both turned a year older on Friday and I had something to celebrate yesterday as well. We had a fun little gathering last night- which was a surprise to me. Many thanks to Catherine for organising and to Tiffany for making the tortilla!
Many thanks to everyone who called and sent messages!


Tune of the Day:   Tom Cat     by Muddy Waters

The first three days of this week have possibly been the slowest of all time

and hopefully things will pick up tomorrow and Friday. At least I am going for a drink with les Chefs Giorgio and Enzo tomorrow evening- who knows..... things might get right out of hand    :-)
Bring on the weekend- and my annual golf outing!


Tune of the Day: Honey    by Kruder and Dorfmeister

Went for a bike ride and brunch this morning

and even though it wasn't quite as planned, things turned out very well and it was a most enjoyable little trip. The sun is still shining and we have had a most pleasant weekend.
I was in the city yesterday and checked out the opening of the new Markthalle- which is an indoor marketplace for foodstuffs with a nice little restaurant attached. I'm sure that it will turn out to be a great addition to town but yesterday seemed to be a gathering of the "stupid, ignorant women with prams club" taking place, so it didn't really light my fire......


Tune of the Day:    Birdland     by Patti Smith

Welcome to the weekend......

a little bike-riding, some photography and a bbq should make things pretty pleasant on my side. And a big Happy Birthday to Giorgette for September 4th.
