Weekend musings

It has been a very pleasant weekend. We went over to Heather and Ewan's for a curry on Saturday evening and had good chat as well as good curry. We looked at their ski holiday photos from the Dolomites from last week - it looks absolutely brilliant and they highly recommend it as a ski area. Perhaps to dispel any lingering curry smells Heather lit a gorgeous lemon scented candle that she got in Capri. It was the nicest candle I have ever smelled. A great evening.

Today James and Davie went walking in the Trossachs with the club, and Jamie joined them directly from Edinburgh. I was woken by Tom and Ruby jumping around on the bed! Cat and Christine visited me and we were discussing what Cat will need for our ski holiday in April; it was lovely to see them. I went out for a little walk to get some fresh air then made lasagne for the returning hill walkers, who were exhausted after their six hour hike - I'm enjoying this home cooking phase!

Jamie took me out for a spin in his new car when they got back; it's smart and reassuringly solid and sturdy. He loves it and was showing me all its facilities. Then Grandma arrived round and we all had dinner and watched "Call the Midwife". Jamie was saying that he has delivered three babies - I find that strange because it hardly seems like twenty-five years (on the 24th of this month) since he was the one being delivered!
