Hot, Hot, Hot.

Today in the city it was hot planned to take Ruaridh to the shore but as we have to walk quite a way on pavement and the pavements were hot at 0930 we went to Ravelston woods instead. He met the two springer spaniels and had a play with Dino. Very reluctant to go into the woods for some reason, in fact I had to put his lead on and encourage him to come, once in the woods he appeared to be a wee bit perkier and had a play with his chum Barney who we met on the way out with Liz and son James just starting their walk!
Back home got the tree in the neighbours garden sorted out, they are happy to have it removed and also willing to pay a quarter of the cost, left a message for Fergus who will let us know when he can come and do the work! Had a mountain of ironing so decided to do it outside, took myself, Ruaridh, ironing board and iron and got stuck in, listening to Radio 4, all done and dusted.
Spoke with mum she is OK, looking forward to seeing her next week. Spoke with Layla they had been to the park and had a lovely time with mums and children from the playgroup. I will see them tomorrow.
Had lunch did some knitting, started the tomato sauce for dinner. Graham phoned to say he was
getting the bus home, had a shower and washed my hair before going with Ruaridh via the park to meet
Graham, met Dolores with her dog Ziggy on the way had a wee chat.
Back home had a cuppa then went for some beer as it is still hot and for the first time in many a year we are dining al fresco! Dinner pasta, tomato sauce and salad with homemade bread lovely.
Now 2030h still sat out writing this Blog fantastic. Bye.
