Yesterday was a busy day that started about midday and didn’t end until just before midnight. It was all because of a wedding in Glasgow that started well, almost had a stand-up fight in the middle and ended with a very noisy and boisterous finish with lots of laughter, I’m told. We were on the train home by that time.
After standing around at the station hoping for a taxi, a good Samaritan called Jonathan, (I hope I got that right) a gentleman and a scholar managed to coax a taxi driver to squeeze us in so we got home safe. Thank you Jonathan!
Today, by comparison was quite calm and pleasant. I went for a walk round St Mo’s pond and managed to capture a nice looking cloudscape that looked as if it was going to dump a load of rain on me, but thankfully it all blew past and the sun came out again.
Scamp needed a bit of a haircut today. She was booked for a procedure that required her to remove all her hair. Thankfully she had prepared for it by getting her hair cut fairly short for the wedding, but the actual ‘bald cut’ was down to me. I can now see why a lot of people get a very close cut. I’m not sure I could manage to get such a close cut, but if needs must …!
Dinner today was Mince & Tatties for me, while Scamp had potatoes with cabbage and cauliflower. The mince had been in the freezer for some time, but it tasted fine.
Spoke to Jamie and discovered that he had dug up eight Butternut squashes to keep for the winter. I think he’s digging up his vegetable patch to get it ready for next year.
We may have an early night tonight after yesterday’s long day.
