Today we were booked for lunch with June and Ian.
First, Scamp was off to FitSteps class and because the sun was shinning after a cloudy, dull, dodgy looking start, I went over to St Mo’s to get some photos. There were some nice beech trees glowing away in the sunshine and they are always worth a few shots. With a couple in the bag after my first circuit of the pond, I turned and went back the same way. It’s amazing how different scenery looks from the other direction and so it was today. The trees I saw going were so much better with the sun coming from a slightly different angle. Also some cow parsley seedheads were catching the sun and I hadn’t noticed them on the outward walk. Best of all was a little vetch plant that had managed to trap a waterdrop in one of its tendrils. That was going to be PoD.
As I was walking back, I realised that time was getting on and checking my watch I found that it was just after midday. Scamp would be home soon and I needed to make tracks. I was going to send her a message when I realised I didn’t have my phone. I was pretty sure it was in the house, pretty sure but not definitely. So I upped the pace and found the offending article where I’d left it next to the computer. Not lost, not stolen, just strayed.
When Scamp came in we headed over to Condorrat to have lunch and a blether with June and Ian. Friday lunches had become a monthly occurance for us four last year. Usually the Red Deer was our go-to place, but today we were trying out Brodens again. We had been there two weeks ago and it passed muster. I’d was sure it would be the same today, and I was right. Lots of folk in the restaurant, well, lots more than there was last time, but the food was just as good, as was the Guinness! I think the other two were quite happy with their food today and I’m sure we’ll be back again. Steak Pie for June and Ian, Fish ‘n’ Chips for Scamp and Gammon Steak for me. What’s not to like?! We were there for a couple of hours and then Ian booked a taxi for June and him while we walked home.
The water drop got PoD, but another two kept it company in Flickr.
I actually watched and enjoyed a Masterchef tonight. That’s not something I say very often.
Only two couples wanted to go to dance class tomorrow (Saturday), Millie & Ronnie and us. Scamp got the message about 9.30 tonight to say that the class was cancelled due to lack of numbers. I was quite happy with that. If there had been a class, there would have been nowhere for me to hide! Scamp was disappointed and I feel sorry for her. We are regulars at the class and although I accept Stewart’s reason, I don’t think it would have hurt them to have run an hour long class for the four of us.
So, no dancing tomorrow, but Scamp wants to do some shopping and I’m looking for somewhere that sells single CO2 detectors.
