We said goodbye to Fiona's dad this week after a nice week together. Fiona and Roger took a day trip to St. Andrews before he left. They also took some nice walks along the old Deeside railway line. The last night was a bit long, as we all went to go see the great comedian Eddie Izzard (look him up on Youtube - especially the "Cake or Death" or "Death Star Canteen" bits!). Unfortunately we only got home close to midnight and Roger's flight required us to be out again at 5:30 the next morning.
Polished it all off with a great roast beef dinner. Roast beets, potatos, green beans and yorkshire puddings made it all very authentic. Now I'm sitting with a full belly watching a good Houston Texans team give the Indianapolis Colts all they can handle. Typical - as soon as we leave they get good.
We're also starting to plan our next vacation. We're looking at a nice three weeks touring around the Italian and French Rivieras. With the prospect of another Christmas at home (I have to work through the holidays) I think by the time spring rolls around, we'll be ready for some sunshine and time off.
