Monday, 5th May,
If I did my blog more often, I wouldn’t take so long to do it as my typing skills are of the one finger type! Anyway here I go again. When I got up this morning, there was a blackbird on one of the apple trees singing its heart out. What a lovely start to the day. On Thursday, after choir practice, as we came out the church door, there were two blackbirds singing to one another. I think they were trying to tell us they were better singers than we were (which wouldn't be difficult)
Friday, I was out for lunch with Chris, Ella and Mary and really enjoyed it. We went to Merryhatton Garden Centre first and enjoyed the run down. Mary took the long way round which we enjoyed as the fields and hedgerows look so fresh just now. We had our lunch, then took the coast road to Gullane, where we browsed round the Bethany charity shop. I bought some books, a pretty Renoir address book and a blanket for the cat. Poor Chris looked a bit pale as she fell and broke her wrist on Tuesday and I think it was still quite painful.
Arthur took me shopping on Saturday and stayed for a blether and a cup of tea.Was at church on Sunday and was surprised to see Stuart and Lisa there, but a friend of theirs was having their baby named and blessed. I hope it doesn’t give them ideas! On the other hand I would love that! A great grandchild! Kay, Gavin and the boys arrived later.Robert was dying to tell me he had been trying on his kilt etc on Friday in preparation for the Gala. He was also desperate to let me hear him reading. He has improved a lot and is very proud he can read on his own now. Douglas was telling me he has reached level E in his reading, which is excellent.I was fulsome in my praise of both of them of course!
Margo arrived later with Ailie who showed me her dancing shoes and her T shirt with her dancing school’s logo. I’m glad she’s joined something, as she is a bit shy, so going to dancing classes will maybe bring her out a bit. Later we went to the cemetery with flowers for John and Geordie. Ailie was a good help clearing up the leaves etc. while we sorted the flowers. The pansies are still blooming, but Bobby says he’ll plant the geraniums when they are finished.
Pottered about in the garden after Rae’s visit this morning,but just wished John was pottering with me! Walked along to Dick’s later and spoke to one or two folks along the way, including Stephen Dixon who was playing rugby for PL on Saturday.I was delighted to congratulate him on the team’s win! My walking is a bit better now. Don’t know if it’s the course of acupuncture I’ve been having or the recent pills I’ve been prescribed. Long may it last anway!
Going round to Jean’s tomorrow. No doubt we’ll be discussing the recent political events in England! What a disaster! I hope Gordon can pull things together before the next election.
