Dundee is, well... not the friendliest place on earth. I'll say that.
Actually, put this way - The only good things that have came out of Dundee are The View and Like A Song being played once. And they are the ONLY good things.

That was why I said "kinda".
Today it's golf time. First time ever for "Sunday Golf" on the club. Mainly it's to get the juniors that can't go out on their own on the course. So, it's juniors, some parents, and the club pro. It will be fun... I'll be playing with two of those juniors that aren't good enough to go out on their own, so I need to be someone to look up a bit too. And hopefully a friend will join or group.
It's raining. "Fuck the rain"
