Today I met Alex for a walk in Chatelherault.
I sat and talked with Alex and Carol, going over what had been happening in the last two weeks. I answered as many questions as I could and managed to get the timelines straightened out … I think.
After that we drove to Chatelherault, parked and went for the traditional coffee in the wee cafe. We walked down to the Duke’s Bridge and over the Avon Water then through the Cadzow Oaks, our usual wander, then Alex suggested we walk on to the Green Bridge. As far as I could remember, it was a fairly long road with a lot of climbs and steep slides down down the other sides, but it was a lovely day and we were just wandering and blethering. Then when I tried to find where we were, the iPhone couldn’t find us, neither could the GPS in the camera and we decided we’d just walk back. I think both of us were wishing we’d left the big warm jackets in the car.
Back at the cafe we had another coffee break and a moan about the state of the world then we walked back to the car and home.
Dropped Alex off at his house and got an easy run home to ours. Scamp, meantime had talked Shona into staying at our house tonight, just to have some company at this busy time. Still lots going on.
It was a Golden Bowl for dinner. The two ladies seemed happy with their food, but I thought mine was a bit dull and the meat was tasteless. Maybe it was a new chef. We would give it another try.
We watched “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” after dinner. I think it must have been a Christmas film we had recorded. Scamp and I both knew most of the punchlines, but Shona, being of a different generation thought it was a great laugh.
PoD went to a Beech Nut I’d picked up on the Duke’s Bridge. I also managed to splash some paint on a watercolour page to keep me up to date in EDiM.
Hoping to drive to Brookfield tomorrow for the first dance class in ages.
