Monday 10th December
Don’t know where to begin. There’s so much I could have put in a daily blog since last time, so I’ll just have to mention whatever springs to mind. Things becoming quite hectic, now of course, as it is for everyone, but I’m glad to say I’m a bit better, healthwise. Sunday 2nd a pleasant visit from “the Aunties” (Margo’s four sisters - in - law) They were so kind and helpful, I hardly had to do a thing and of course they were laden with gifts! They asked if I needed any shopping done in town and Mary going to get berets (recommended in Scotsman) for two young friends from Accessorize and Marion, vouchers for Helen from Ragamuffin. Bought Helen something from Good Gifts as well.
Last Monday was a Fenton Barns with Chris and Ella. We had lunch at the country store there and enjoyed potato and oatmeal soup which was a full meal in itself!Looked at kitchen chairs at East Linton countrry furniture, but the prices are extortionate, so It’s bacj to Ikea. Tuesday evening at History Society Christmas social, which was very pleasant and relaxing, enjoying excellent buffet, listening to music and joining in with the Christmas carols.Tuesday, Ray came.Still worried about Anna’s wedding. Desperate for me to come to church service in East Saltoun to augment the singing. Kay arrived, so going to take me and she’ll help too. Wednesday, Helen and I went to pick tiles for kitchen and handles for units. Just got back, whrn firm phoned. Worktops to be fitted on 14th. Tiler coming on 17th. I’ll be glad when it’s all finished! Caught up with cards and presents on Thursday. Thank goodness I got most of stuff online.Friday, usual shopping and hair. Quite flustered in Post Office, with parcels, calendars etc to post. John used to attend to these things for me. Dick’s for lunch and Rural party in evening with Chris. Enjoyed it very much, until the entertainers sang “Dunbarton’s Drums, which John and I used to do.
“Dunbarton’s Drums they sound so bonnie
For they remind me o’ my Johnnie....’
Have to stop now
