Good morning all from a very breezy and wet Glasgow. No posts when I looked earlier, so thanks Ashcombe for starting us off.
I have been awake for hours with an overactive mind. DD should have been on the 6am ferry from Orkney to the mainland, but not a peep from her. I was becoming a tad anxious, to say the least! Last year she was stranded on the Isle of Arran for three days, when the ferries couldn't bearth, so she has previous!
All is well, she just didn't want to waken us with a text. However, I think her emoji gives a hint to how choppy the sea is! ?
We are off to Pitlochry for the weekend and I am so looking forward to it. A change is as good as a rest! It will take us about two hours and will give me just enough time to browse the House of Bruar unintimated, untll DD and SIL arrive! .
Yesterday after picking up my new glasses, we met up with DS2 and his fiancéee for lunch, followed by a pint of nectar Guinness for DH in the oldest pub in Paisley. This was DH's first pint in over a year!! Oh what a happy man, he was!!!
We had a little booth all to ourselves and were the only customers in the pub!. The interiors were designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh's apprentice, who mimiced his style.
It was so lovely to have a proper catch up with DS2, we had hardly seen him, as he lives in another Council area and obviously couldn't break lockdown restrictions.
The only fly in the oiintment was that my new glasses had a chip in them, so back to the workshop for a replacement lens. I hadn't realised how much my eyesight had deteriorated during my incarceration. It was like someone had switched on a light, when I tried the new ones on. .
When I entered the optician's, the first thing I was asked was, Are you Dollie's gran?. Two further people approached me to ask the same question! I have lost my identity completely!!! .
Wishing you all the best of days. Hoping to hear how all those who are in sick bay are doing and that there is some improvement for MrHarri. EV, ?
