Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[typhoon13]

Spotted these two beauties wandering around the hotel this morning, sort of chattering away to themselves, as ducks tend to.

Anyone know the exact species?

Definitely Aylesbury

One male and One female

Without googling how can we tell which is which?

The one at the back is male.  Male mallards seem to have the horn much of the time and spend most of their lives following lady mallards around.  A female quack means "no, fuck off", obviously.

Isn't it frustrating that you can't quote Tony's pics? Spoils the whole diary really.

Looks like everyone enjoyed the boat trip, anyway......

Nice socks.

This would be so exciting, I think I'd wet myself.

Something like this?

Blimey George, that is exactly it.

Now I gotta send that to Gill - she'll love it.  1.1 we end up in that, or similar.

Meanwhile, a quick question for you, Geo. 

Loch Awe is a beautiful part of the world (was going to say awesome). Also as the clincher Tony, there's tours of Cruachan Hydro Power Station available, they hollowed out Ben Cruachan to build it & the tour goes right inside.

George,

Do you recognize this couple? They are both on the Punta Cana trip, but they hail from Edinburgh, & both play a lot at the local venues, including Maybury.

Their names are George & Lesley Devine.

Yes Tony,

A lovely couple who play the game in a great spirit, mostly play the Maybury and we've played together over the years although they probably wouldn't know me from Adam as I haven't played too much live in Scotland for a wee while.

Popping off to DTD tomorrow for the weekend to kickstart my live playing

Not that it needed much spoiling...

Notice how he neglects his so called diary for days on end, then he'll come one here complaining about sun, beer, girls etc....

Thanks Tom, but can't get BBC1 in Dominican Republic.

Am currently watching the Mexican Grand Prix with commentary in foreign.

Date would be, at a guess, 10 years either side of 1890.

Got no idea how much the sign is worth.

Ooh! Impressively close with the date. 1906.
