Ooops, thanks.
Did not even check it on the SPL website because I thought it might be too early. Let me see what games might fit our travel itinerary in September. I'm trying to talk my wife into watching one or two matches on our trip
Edit: First disappointment - Dons are playing two away games in a row. So I can cross them off my list.

Wow, the Queen is flying back home and they even air her departure on German TV. I thought we got rid of monarchy after 1918. 
However, this old lady made a remarkable speech about European unity, well done, Her Majesty. Hopefully Mr. Cameron listened carefully

Same here....until today. And now it's getting very warm for this part of the country!
However, hope it will be at least mostly dry in Edinburgh so that I can walk around. Haven't been to Tynecastle Stadium so far, my plan is to do it this time.

Wow, they expect thunderstorms here as well. Was 34 degrees outside when I was walking around during my lunchbreak. Pretty unusual temperatures for us here in the north of Germany.

@ Croak and @Itkovian . Purely out of interest here, Croak and I had a jaw about ACW re-enactment which was also an interest of mine too. Croak mentioned his connections to two regiments. Can I ask was this something that happened, or did your family have any historical connection to them ?? I`ve been fascinated by this period of history for years.

Funny, the lady at the B&B we are staying at was talking about the "heatwave" that was hitting Scotland at the moment. It was 23 degrees today in Edinburgh
The 50th Pennsylvania Volunteers and the 100th PA Volunteers were from western PA mostly. We joined the unit because a man from my church, way back when, found out that I was a CW buff and invited us to join.
On a personal level, we had several family members in the CW. One was originally in the PA militia when Governor Curtin called for Volunteers to repel Lee's invasion of PA because the "powers that be" in Washington didn't believe Lee would cross into PA. This ancestor was PA militia, then after Gettysburg he signed on with the 3rd PA light artillery, Company C. Another great grandfather was with the PA Cavalry at Gettysburg. He mustered into service in June of 1863. The first action he saw was Gettysburg and he fought with his unit the whole way through to Appomattox.
I have copies of the pay stubs, muster rolls and hospital stays of the one Great Grandfather. My brother has his saber and hat.
The Church I Pastored was right on the Mason Dixon line. Part of the property was in Maryland and part in PA. In 1862 the moved the whole building out of Maryland and into PA. It was a way station for the underground railroad. PA contributed a very large number of soldiers to the Union Army.
Generals Meade, Hancock and Reynolds were all from PA. I'll see if I can find the pick of me and my boys in our re-enacting days.
In the picture I am the skinny guy in the "sherman's bummer" hat on the far left. Itkovian is the kid, 3rd from left.

Here's one of me at the Wax Museum in Gettysburg. We used to camp in front of the Museum and do demonstrations and answer visitor's questions about the Civil War.
And here is one of the boys and me; Itkovian on the far right.

That top picture was actually taken by a visitor to Gettysburg who came from Germany. They were amazed that I overheard them talking to each other, then spoke to them in their native language. I answered their questions in German as well. The older gent took a picture and sent it to me.
One more. I'm kneeling on the ground with my hand on my knee. This was at a re-enactment of the battle of Brandy Station.
