Weekend Activities

James and I had a whole day together on Saturday which was not only unusual but very pleasant. After setting the world to rights while having breakfast in bed (and unfortunately after the horrific events at the Bataclan concert hall in Paris on Friday evening this was beyond our abilities!) we went into town to order wallpaper for the hall and do a few other errands. We had lunch in the Rogano Cafe, an old favourite of ours. It's so old-fashioned, I love it. 

Later on we went to The Stand and had a really good evening. It was very crowded but we managed to get seats and the acts were all very funny. The only problem was the last act - the comedian was very good at first but seemed to lose his way a wee bit and then he got heckled by a woman for being sexist. It was quite mild but it really seemed to get to him and instead of making a joke of it or getting her on side, he started arguing with her. The audience were getting restless and booing the woman and calling her names and it all got a bit out of hand. He ended up telling a not very funny joke which ended up by calling her an unpleasant name and that was the end of his act. When the compère came back out on stage he looked absolutely mortified and said "Well, that was awkward!" which defused the atmosphere and made everyone laugh. 

Today we went through to Dundee to visit Davie and to buy him some winter clothes. We met his new girlfriend, Chanel, who is pretty and friendly. This is a very new romance; when I was on the phone to Davie last week I suddenly had a feeling that he was not alone and I asked him "Is there somebody there with you?" He confirmed that there was a girl with him - it was Chanel! A mother's instinct is never wrong!
