Our nightmares came true and we lost our first match. The second match was a little closer until the 4 th end when we lost by four stones losing the match five to two. I guess a 32 year break was to much for us. One more chance tomorrow and there's also the disco tonight which we may win.

Said our goodbye's to Diana Joyce and Stewart in Aberdeen and drove to Kinross for the big curling match. After cocktails and opening dinner then further drinks we turned in around midnight for another nightmare ridden sleep involving curling in hell and over cliffs. Pic is our skip wondering how on earth he is to win or at least not to come last. He has a difficult task and could be the end of a long friendship. At least Neva will still talk to us.

A view of the Trump course

Ann practising curling before our big completion at the weekend in Kinross. It is more than 30 years since we last curled and Ann took to it very easily. I on the other hand really struggled to the point were it was embarrassing. Ann seems to be ahead of me in to many pursuits this trip. Roy and Kenny then took me to see the new Donald Trump golf course which could be hailed as the best links course in the world when it opens later this year. It is stunning. Ann...

Weather very good and a good day was had helping Diana. First packing all of Rons clothes which she found difficult to do and digging out a few of Ron's Roddies for her new house. The new house needs quite a lot of work doing but will be easy to run when completed. We had dinner at the Mallaca with John Mary and Diana and fell into bed at Midnight very tired.
