Out into the rain...

...and down the hill...

Breakfast of Eggs Benedict at The Huxley with chums Bryan, Stuart, Ross, Lodger and Gary...

A large taxi down the East Lothian coast to Gullane...

For, today, Mr Quartet was watching some golf...

Slightly overcast - but that was good, in the old not getting your neck burnt red raw stakes...

Some walking around the course...

Drinks - your correspondent was cawing canny and on the Diet Cokes, tonight's Exec Producer ran dan evening having already been in the diary when this golf scenario was recently arranged and Mr CBQ having already agreed to act as late doors taxi...

I must admit to not knowing who any of the players were - I know though that, sadly and somewhat disappointingly, Golf Monster Alice Cooper was not taking part...

Despite stormy skies, there was no rain and it was warm...

Hearts legend Jim Jefferies was in attendance - a texted re this Exec Producer was jealous...

Fish and chips for lunch, more drinks, more walking...

More watching...

Finally, down the 18th...

...with a sunny Berwick Law, my dad and Sister Pam in the distance...

The view from the 1st tee...

The view from the bar...

...and time to leave...

A trip back along the coast to Edinburgh, my colleagues in a slightly worse for wear condition, the cumulative effects of over six hours of imbibing having now kicked in, whilst your correspondent had enjoyed four Diet Cokes a pint of lager shandy and a mineral water...

I left them in Morrison St, just after seven, about to "get it on" for the rest of the evening, as they say...

Home via a convoluted bus journey, the Exec Producer advising she was already in Fife and having a good time... 

In the inbox, more from Italy...

This in the garden...

A girl must do her hair...

Sad to be coming home...

Strangely, these do not exactly reflect my Monthly Top tens noted here...

Oh well, things change...

A taxi hail just before 10 and over to Dalgety Bay..

An enjoyable hour spent chatting with a worse for wear Anne and her own worse for wear colleagues, including many, not seen for probably too long, chums...

Home just before midnight - some surfing, some listening and then, hitting the sack with my top 50 on shuffleplay...

Highlight of the Day : Golf day, compiling...
