I had some more road trips today in a final whirlwind of social activity before the end of the holidays! First of all I went over to Bishopton (it only took me half an hour) to have coffee with Jennifer and Elspeth at Mar Hall Hotel where they are having a spa break. It's a beautiful place and we had a lovely chat - to my surprise Jennifer totally spoiled me some extra birthday presents! I was a tad concerned that I might be intruding on their spa break and time together but they both made me feel so welcome that my fears were allayed.
Another pleasant half hour of driving took me straight along the M8 and M74 to the Bothwell Bridge Hotel where I met my former colleague David for lunch. It was great to catch up with him and we had a good chat.
When I got home I tidied round a bit then settled down to finish Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude" (or "Crapitude" as I have jokingly been calling it when discussing it with Ally!) Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Let's just say that the ending was certainly appropriate for the book! I still don't regret reading it though!
