We paid a surprise visit to my Mum on Halloween evening dressed up as ghosts. We sang “Three Little Ghosts from tombs are we” as our party piece at the door. I had carved a cat pumpkin for the occasion. Then my brother turned up dressed as the grim reaper and brought cocktails. They were […]
I went out on the coach road about half a mile beyond the “big stone” for two and a half miles in total. I have now abandoned the stick apart for the first time I do walks that may be rough (I have the waterfall walk in my sights). Lovely autumn day. There were some […]
Well not much actually. I walked up to the “second gate” which is about half way to the “back to the road turning” on the Inverlounin loop. I actually would have gone further, but there was a forestry bulldozer doing some work on the path right at the top of the hill and I didn’t […]
R bought me a really romantic present today. Roses and chocolates are out. Hoover tools (or more exactly, Dyson tools) are in. Actually I wouldn’t really thank anyone for roses or chocolates, and these tools are just what I needed. I am starting a thorough clean of the house which one way and another has […]
I’m getting out and about more now. Yesterday I walked down the coach road as far as what R and I call “the big stone”. This is the point beyond which there is no vehicular access. R was not with me because at the moment I am still fairly slow (plus I am not tackling […]
As Halloween approaches, here is Amber the witches cat. She is on the new duvet cover I just bought (of course she is), and as it has moons and stars on it, it is very appropriate. Amber is a very beautiful cat; I have never met one with blacker, thicker, silkier fur than she has. […]
J keeps some of his clothes over here so that he doesn’t have to carry them back and forwards to Glasgow. A month or two ago I accidentally muddled his T-Shirts up with R’s and we had to spend about an hour trying to find them again. R has literally 100s of T-Shirts (ok – […]
R is in London today and as is his wont he went for a walk around before his conference today. I am at home holding the fort and tending to the needs of our furry friends and went for a walk too (first unsupervised walk since the second op – 1.75 miles). This is what […]
Living where we do we are hugely reliant on Amazon. I’ve actually been a customer since 2005 when they were a shop that sold “papery reading things” and have seen them metamorphosize into what they are today. I’ve quite literally had 1000s of orders from them. Yesterday I had cause to edit my profile (to […]
