When in Rome

It was my pleasure to take a very attractive young woman for coffee today, a most agreeable way to start the weekend. The damsel in question is called Taisha and is my sister in law, I figured the least I could do after subjecting her to ten days of my presence was to buy her a drink. We went in search of a diner to no avail so wound up in McDonald's, well, when in Rome and all that, you can't come to America and skip McDonald's. Taisha had milkshake and I had coffee, I know how to spoil a woman. I sent the first coffee back mind, they put cream in it not milk which is a complete perversion of common decency, they made up for it with a free refill though, would love to see the reaction if I asked for that in Aberdeen.

It was proper hot today, scorching, so I took the trouble to spend the day in front of the goggle box watching the golf. Jordan Speith is marching to victory by such a margin that I probably won't bother watching the final round tomorrow, I'll be in church when he's playing anyway, I'm looking forward to taking Taisha, Coralea and Erik while Chris is playing golf. Afterwards there's a chance we'll go to the beach which is a whole different experience here in Florida compared to Stonehaven. I won't need my cardy for a start and the last time I was on Stoney beach I don't recall volleyball and beach soccer being played. I'm not knocking Stonehaven though, I miss the place and look forward to being back but I have five days of my hols left first during which time I intend to complete the following -

1) Developing the body of an Adonis. I've been running and doing push ups every day, people stop me on the street/sidewalk asking me how they too could look so fit, I've told them to check me out again on my last day by which time my mission will be complete.

2) Walking my niece and nephew to summer camp and making them laugh. My jokes so far have fallen on deaf ears, the only thing that makes them laugh is when the lollipop lady ticks me off for jaywalking (whatever that is).

3) Buy souvenirs of genuine worth and not just tat which is discarded the moment it's received (eg. A tea mug that says 'my friend went to USA and all he brought back was this lousy mug' or an NYC baseball cap even though I've not been within 1,500 miles of the place).

Time for another cawfee, much more and I'll drown in the stuff. Over and out fae Boca Raton.
