Well, I don't know about Diane, but I was jumping on a connecting flight, except I nearly missed it because I was sitting at the wrong gate - was not very impressed with Manchester airport.  Not that that had anything to do with me being last on the plane - more likely the fact that I'd been travelling for 30 something hours and was coerced into having several champagnes on the last leg and not going to sleep until the last six hours or so.

Oddly enough, I can recommend this course of action - I have had very little jetlag so far - maybe the copious quantities of champagne killed it.

Recognise this place, Roger?  I have to say thanks for turning on the heater whoever did it - weather so far has been gorgeous.

Um...well...it appears to be Anstruther, according to the name on the fish and chip shop. This is about thirty or forty miles from where I live and I think I've been there once. I, of course, was at the lobster and pommes frites shop.

I'm a bit concerned about the middle window above the Anstruther Fish Bar. It doesn't look right. Was there something wrong with it, Joan?

I assumed that you would know Anstruther, Roger, seeing as you live in Fife, but that's a big assumption to make.  I didn't know half the places 40 miles from where we used to live in Scotland.  The only reason we picked Anstruther was my husband's great grandparents lived there before they went out to Australia.

The fish and chip shop is supposed to have the best fish and chips in Scotland, or some award like that.  The queue was certainly long enough to get in, so we didn't test them out.  Would rather have had your lobster and pommes frites.

You're very observant, Peeps.  I didn't notice that.  My sister, being the cynic that she is, said "It's just the reflection."  Very odd.

Happy Birthdays, Jack and Vulture!

Could they be described as tarty looking too?

Happy Birthday Joan!

I had forgotten about the calendar thingie - I sure don't remember adding all the birthdays - boy I must be good at this;D

Not that good.
My birthday isn't listed.  :(

I only did a time period of three months Colin - your birthday is in April. Also I know I didn't list some of the birthdays because I didn't know them and I'm sure Vulture, although oldish, is not that old!

I've just put in the birthdays that I know up until the end of 2009.

The ones I put in are listed as "Event" in green are are only good for one year. I think the system must be putting in the ones listed as "Birthday" in purple and they are carried forward to future years.

If your birhday is not on the calendar, and you would like it to be, please check over your personal information and make sure that you have imput your birthdate details.
