Sunday sights.

A group of American golfers have hired a video camera man and sound engineer to record their round on the Old Course. We've seen camera men before but never sound engineers.


The golfers have also hired students to act as Caddies. The students know the course and the etiquette. At the end of the round much time is spent looking for cash to pay them. " Do you take dollars ?"  asks one gentleman while searching frantically in his bag. I'm sure the students will take anything. 


The restaurant in what used to be the Salvation Army Hall is charging £75 for a whole lobster. That's the same rate as you'd pay at the modern 'cube'  restaurant with its stunning views of the sea.


The bakers 'universal' biscuits have had New Years, Burns Night and Mothers Day variants. They have now seamlessly been repurposed for Easter.


A fudge doughnut inside a Belgian chocolate egg. This is a product Angus can relate to. 'The Font' - who is one of those people that thinks a single square of dark chocolate a day is a sin - mutters something about you can take the boy out of Scotland but .....

Never mind your fancy eggs... I just discovered Tim Tams in Lanark B&M!!! (Aussie's dream choccie biccie.) Caramel (fudge) ones 😋

I absolutely loved the Reference Desk and still miss it. Would love to have been on that desk (but maybe in a smaller town than NYC).

Peer Gynt will be on my car music player this morning! Thanks. And I loved seeing the dogs. Sent it to all of my dog friends. Cesar Milan does this sort of thing. It's all through being calm and emotionally in control with respect and trust for the dogs. I, however would challenge any of these guys to get Puppy into that line!!

I also loved the article about the Reference Desk. I was living in Japan when we first gained access to the "World Wide Web" and it was just so astounding to an information-starved expat. But it is interesting to think back to the time "before". We did manage somehow.

The Easter biscuits look quite attractive.
