Telegram

This morning the telephone rang around 0845 before I could answer it, it had stopped ringing, I did 1571 got a No. and dialled it. Believe it or not I was through to the Telegram Office I didn't even know that you could send telegrams these days what a lovely surprise. It turned out there was no telegram for us this time, something wrong with their telephones going a wee bit haywire.
Telegrams brought good ar bad news, and at most weddings there used to be congratulatory ones to be read at the 'wedding breakfast'. My uncle (mother's brother) started his career in the Post Office as a telegram delivery boy and used a bicycle to do his rounds!
Shower, breakfast, then took Ruaridh for a walk in the park and Ravelston woods, spoke to Layla, she and Bella are fine, Layla busy as she is doing the cooking for her chum Rowena's Yoga retreat this weekend. Bella and her dad are having a fun weekend.
Over to Glasgow things to organise and do. Had a good walk in Bellahouston Park, Ruaridh liked the new territory.
Home, leek and potato soup for dinner followed by tinned salmon sandwiches lovely. Bye.
