Happy Father’s Day – 15 June 2025

It’s nice to wake up in the morning to two lots of cards and breakfast in bed courtesy of Scamp. My turn to reciprocate tomorrow.

Spoke to Hazel in the morning and caught up with what was happening down south. Glad to hear that Ivan is no worse and pleased that he might be getting home soon. Also happy that the rockery is settling into its own shape and planting. Thanks for the cup and phone holder. It sits comfortably on the arm of the couch. You are such a clever girl!

Other than that, it was a bit of a dull day. Occasional drizzle, but no real rain on the windows, so that’s a bonus. We watched the F1 qualifying and watched an F1 car lose its carbon fibre covering and have to drive back to the paddock almost ‘naked’. I bet a lot of paparazzi’s cameras would almost be reading melt down trying to find what’s underneath the skin!

After much discussion, we settled on Carrot & Lentil Curry for dinner. An old favourite, tried and tested over the years.

Later in the afternoon I got a taxi over to to Central Health Centre for my Covid vaccination. A Covid jag on a Sunday and on Father’s Day too? What are these folk thinking about? The lady at the health centre almost managed to get me a Shingles jag too until I told her I’d already had one and she agreed. Another sore arm avoided! I’d got a taxi, because our street is double parked to max when it’s Fathers’ Day and the prospect of trying to find an empty space was not in the least appealing. Being driven there and back was worth the tenner and a bit.

Spoke to Jamie later in the afternoon and got the amended details of their plans for Arran. Nice card Jamie. As you know I’m always losing my glasses!!

PoD was a photo of some crystalline ice with the remainder of some blackcurrant juice looking decidedly like blood.  Believe me, it’s fruit juice! Would I lie to you?

That was about it for the day. A lovely day with great folk. Even the lady who gave me the jag had a good sense of humour.

No real plans for tomorrow, although there are rumours that shopping may be necessary!
