Bob and Bets!


Still missing Blogs attempting to catch up!!
Wednesday was another kid of hectic day, G away to the studio after breakfast, had a wash then I took Ruaridh for his morning constitutional, then back home to make a couple of quiches for dinner tonight which we are having at the family's. Made the quiches an asparagus one and a plain one which look quite good. Into the car with them and Ruaridh and over to the supermarket to get tatties, peas and strawberries before heading East.
Had lunch with the girls then Sue phoned to say they would be over about 1430h.
Spent a lovely afternoon with our friends then when Graham and Joe arrived in the evening had a lovely dinner. Quiche of choice, new potatoes and peas followed by blackcurrent cheesecake courtesy of Sue delicious. Stayed for a wee while then headed home, Joe kindly took the girls to the hotel!
Thursday we are heading to the Glen this evening--let the day role. Up early had a shower and washed my hair, had breakfast with Graham who then left for the studio with Ruaridh, as I was going to town to say au revoir to the Canadian girls. Got the bus to town to the hotel, spent some time with them then we said our goodbyes.
Went to get my bus to the studio bumped into an old colleague/friend lovely to see her again.
Picked up Ruaridh from the studio and drove over to the girls, they were away so I took Ruaridh for a walk on the cycle path and through the park. When we got back they were at home had lunch then to the allotment. The raspberry canes were blown over so had to repair the stoop, that done weeded two beds, played with Bella then over to theirs to wait for G. Said our goodbyes as the family are flying out on holiday for a week on Saturday!
Home packed made a sham ham sandwich and a cup of tea, loaded the car up got Ruaridh in and off. Called at Sainsbury's for diesal and a few more messages then off.
Good journey though quite cold at the pee stop. Arrived at the cottage around 2300h, drizzle.
Unpacked the car, house immaculate C cleaning, got the hot water bottles in Graham did the stove. Then we sat down to enjoy scrambled eggs on toast with a big cuppa! To bed.
Friday up with the wee fellow and had a cup of tea, crashed out again then up around 1000h. Checked the phone, message from Bob and Bets they are on their way here. Our chums B&B arrived, G and moi hadn't even eaten our breakfast great to see them as they haven'y visited in years!
A day spent chatting, laughing, having serious discussions on various topics (putting the world to rights), drinking and eating. Even managed a wee walk with the Wonder Dog when the sun shone, between the rain/hail showers.
Asparagus risotto with salad for dinner, strawberries, raspberry ice-cream and shortbread for afters--lovely.
To bed, to phone the family in the morning before they leave!
