Sunflowers.

Today Ruaridh and moi did marathon walks. Up and breakfast with Graham before he left for the studio, then had a wash before getting ready to walk over to see Layla and Bella.
We set off and walked down to Inverleith Park here the wee fellow had a great time chasing leaves, saw one puppy but once again no play. Soon on to the cycle path, onto the second one we had a chat with some volunteers who were clearing trees and undergrowth off the cycle paths, here I let the dog off his lead and later on realised I had lost the damned thing. A couple with a black Lab were being very precious about their dog when Ruaridh attempted to play with him!
Had to make a makeshift lead used my white shopping bag and it worked very well and Ruaridh was well behaved.
Lovely to see the girls they had been at playgroup, had some lunch then left for the allotment, poor Ruaridh another walk said he! Bella fell asleep and Ruaridh played in some garbage, at the allotment we tided things up and got two loads into the bin.
We left one of the sunflowers that Bella had planted in the spring in the ground, as Layla said the seeds in the head of the flower would feed the birds-good idea!
Walked back to theirs to have a cup of coffee and wait for Graham.
Set off home, made the dinner, vegetable stew, tatties and cabbage.
Telephoned mum she is fine, looking forward to seeing her tomorrow. Had a cuppa now to bed. Bye.
