Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 6° and sunny. A body could get used to this. Pantglas a very happy anniversary to you both. GrandMattie 💐
Yesterday was busy with humdrum things but nonetheless enjoyable. Bed stripped,cheers etc washed and hung out to dry. Aldi visited and spent more than I should have. Housework completed. An unexpected treat was the boys visiting with their mum. She dropped them off and went to Aldi, returning with lemon yumyums. Later I went to their house and babysat while dd and Dsil went out for dinner with his parents. It was a joy. Both boys were just lovely. Dgs1 got a bit teary when mum and dad left and then when I took him to bed but he was easily deflected by football chat. Dgs2 was highly delighted that I was taking him to bed. I read them both stories. Dgs1 is really keen on Fabulous Mr Fox and gets three chapters a night. What made me extra happy, was he was asking what some words meant. I like curiousity in a child. Dd messaged me this morning to say dgs2 had shouted for me when he woke up and promptly burst into tears when she said I had gone home to bed. It's lovely to be missed by this rumbustious, funny, wee scamp.
Today I'm meeting a friend for brunch in town. The roads are horrendous with various works, so I'll leave early and pick her up some flowers. I had given her a birthday present but it didn't dawn on me it was a special birthday and I should have acknowledged it better. She's a good friend. Apart from that, I'll potter about the garden, weeding and watering. Gammon salad for dinner later. Have a good day all.
