BBC Radio 4

Monday was quite a busy day, an old neighbour/colleague has returned to the area and she invited me to lunch. I was also waiting for the delivery of Layla's Birthday present a lovely red purse coming from London!
Took Ruaridh for his walk, then over for lunch--nice veggie food and a good chat catching up on the years. Layla's purse arrived beautifully wrapped! Listened to an article on BBC Radio 4 'Oscar and Al Pacino' Al recently discovered Oscar Wilde's 'Salome', and plays Herod in the play--interesting. Dark by the time the Wonder Dog and moi hit the park.
Tuesday down to the beach the Wonder Dog and I had an amazing walk almost out to Cramond Island on the beach. Back home cleaned our bedroom and the stairs!!
Wednesday met Layla and Bella off the bus they came for lunch, later on I took them home. Evening went to the pen-ultimate Art class which I have really enjoyed.
Thursday down to the beach with Ruaridh, what a fun time we had he found a bowl(used on the bowling green). These are weighted every time he touched it with his nose or paws it rolled away from him, oh how angry he got growled and barked at it. Otherwise he enjoyed going into the sea after shells.
Went over to help Layla and Bella bake for the Christmas Market, a busy time!
Friday the girls came over to collect the Apple Kuchen cake and stayed for lunch.
Saturday up early for the Christmas Market, shower, hairwash, Ruaridh for a short walk, breakfast and away!!
Weather warm and sunny led to a feel good factor. The food outlets did a roaring trade, masses of Gingerbread for sale all shapes and sizes, not forgetting the 'Dolly' and many other stalls.
King Winter (Joe) told his story to groups of enthralled children:)
Bumped into lots of old friends and aquaintences, with most shared joy one or two sadness.
Met up with a very dear chum haven't seen him in years, always good to see him he makes me laugh, good to see you T.
Took Ruaridh for a late evening walk in the woods!
Sunday At the moment three pieces of equipment in our house are not functioning !! All three are fifteen years + old and I'm told for one (the boiler) replacement parts start to become unavalable after ten years!!
Hopefully the washing machine and boiler can be fixed tomorrow, the oven is a different story!
Layla and Bella over lovely walk to Cramond.
