It has been an extremely pleasant weekend and I have managed to intersperse my socialising with a bit of exercise as I continue to attempt a healthy lifestyle. So I walked to book club at Catherine's on Friday evening and it's really not that far - half an hour each way. Then on Saturday James and I went to Dundee because I have broken my phone so I needed to borrow Jamie's old phone until my replacement phone arrives. After lunch with Jamie, James and I went for a walk on Tentsmuir Sands - the same beach where I walked with Jamie and David a couple of weeks ago. This time there was no fog; instead we had beautiful blue skies and could see sailing boats on the sea and Broughty Ferry across the estuary. This walk meant that I could enjoy my delicious dinner at Heather and Ewan's later with a clear conscience!
And then this morning with James and Davie away hill-walking I decided to go for a swim and check out the refurbished Tollcross Baths. I was very impressed. They now have two fifty metre pools (all ready for the Commonwealth Games next summer) which are each divided into two twenty-five metre pools. This meant that there was lots of room for everyone and even though there were lots of people there the pools were nice and quiet. One of the pools was divided into ten lanes so I did my swim there and it was great - there were only three people using lanes! The distant hubbub from the family pool sounded quite pleasant as I swam up and down undisturbed. I will definitely go back to Tollcross - it's only ten minutes drive from home.
I have spent most of the afternoon in my hammock in the garden reading my current book about refugees in Glasgow (interesting so far). There are now lots of flowers beginning to bloom and their lovely scents are wafting past me. the washing is swaying gently on the line and it's going to have that fresh, outdoors smell. It's lovely to be outside in this beautiful weather.
