Recovering – 16 November 2024

Since the teachers were off to Edinburgh to watch the rugby, there were no dance classes, so Saturday was nominated a day of recovery.

Sitting admiring the sun shining on the vase of Alstrumeria flowers in the morning I grabbed my camera and took a few shots that turned into the PoD. It was the refractions that took my fancy.

We drove to Falkirk in the late morning and collected two necklaces Scamp had put in to a jewellers there to have their catches replaced, one of them over 50 years old.

Next stop was Morrisons for a bit of gentle shopping, but as Morrisons is totally different from Tesco or Waitrose, there were a lot of things there we couldn’t find elsewhere. Things like Spelt bread and miniature tins of wine that are convenient for Scamp to take to evening socials at Brookfield. I now take zero percent Guinness instead. The result was that we bought more than we intended, but without vastly overspending.

On the way home we stopped at B&Q to get a new toilet seat. I’ve been going to replace the old one for almost a year and today was the day to get it done. It was a lot easier to replace than the previous one and that’s all you really want to or need to know on the subject!

We watched Strictly at night and picked the two folk we thought would be leaving the show tomorrow. Nice to see the Tower Ballroom in Blackpool again. We must go back there some day.

That was about it for a rest and recovery day.

Tomorrow we may be due some of the white stuff.
