Douglas and Granny



Friday. 26th June.

Sun struggling to come out today but still quite warm. Arthur had to get car fixed, so Dick took me for shopping, hairdresser etc. Joyce asked me to come for lunch, so said OK, though Chris coming about three.Good blether with Sharon then chatted with an old friend in store. Said how much she'd enjoyed Arthur singing at the senior citizen's concert during Gala week.He's playing at the Labour club tonight, then a wedding on Saturday with the band.Margo on the phone saying she'll pop in when she's down, but can't stay as the bairns have parties on.

Dick and Joyce took me to Thornton's coffee shop for lunch. It was lovely. Had a cheese and ham toastie - delicious. Back in plenty time for Chris.

Printed photos from Kay of Douglas in Gala, then watched Telly. Usual rubbishy soaps, but switched to BBC4 for programme about Mendelssohn and the Nazis which was excellent. Enjoyed The Pre-Raphaelites on Wednesday,followed by The Book Quiz which was all about poets and poetry. Good for me to use my brain a bit!

Cordon bleu cook

Saturday, 4th October.

An unpleasant day, weatherwise. Started putting things away in readiness for painter coming, though when that will be I don’t know as he’s still not back from holiday.

Jean phoned to ask me round for tea at hers, so thoroughly enjoyed it as she’s a very good cook and uses all her own vegetables from her garden. She puts me to shame as I’ve been neglecting my culinary skills since John died. Anyway had a good blether about politics and the financial news, both here and in America., local news, exchanged books, talked about families and so on..........
