'Granny---

---have you lowered your sink' asked Bella this evening as she washed her hands in the bathroom. 'No sweetheart you have grown' said I. These few words made my day as she looked at me in wonderment.
Another quite busy day, after breakfast and a wash off up Corstorphine Hill with the Wonder Dog had a lovely walk, the sun shone and the warm wind blew.
Made batter for pancakes and butternut squash soup then had a light lunch before setting off to meet up with Miss B. Did some shopping then met Graham who was coming to meet Bella with me as a surprise. She was delighted to see him and we went to a cafe to have tea and an apple juice for her. Got the bus home, trying to catch a bus in the city at the moment is hellish worse I have ever known.
At ours played in the garden, then Graham left to go to a reception with Joe that Creative Scotland were hosting, Layla was going out with her chums so it was just Bella and moi. Played some more then a story before Bella wanted her dinner she helped me in the kitchen then we sat down to Pasta and pesto with bread and a salad, we both enjoyed this.
Whilst I cleared away Bella watched a 'Charlie and Lola' episode then we watched one together before making the pancakes. Had great fun doing this, Bella gave the batter a final beating then onto the griddle three at a time. She enjoyed one with strawberry jam and a drink of milk then had half of one.
Her mummy arrived as a surprise then not long afterwards Grandpa and Daddy arrived. The reception had been worth while. Family left and Graham had soup and toast, pancakes and a cuppa. Tired now. Bye.
