It has been a very pleasant weekend. On Saturday I met up with Heather in town for coffee and we had a proper chat; she is such a good friend and is always very supportive. Back at home, James was busy cleaning and and waxing the floor of the new living room. It has come up really well. I got on with some housework and we both felt very satisfied with what we got done. We swithered about going to the cinema in the evening but instead made ourselves a steak dinner and watched a film from 2013 that we haven't watched before; Django Unchained. It's set in the 1850s and tells the story of a German bounty hunter who teams up with a black slave and ultimately takes on an evil slave owner played by Leonardo di Caprio. It was a Quentin Tarantino film and was therefore very violent, but what I objected to was how far fetched the plot was. It reminded me of Inglourious Basterds - it was Tarantino's version of how he would have liked things to work out and bore no relation to historical reality. However it was watchable and gave us plenty to discuss! Today we went for a goodly walk along the beach at Troon and then had lunch at the deservedly popular Scotts at the marina. Grandma came round for tea later and we FaceTimed with Jamie which she enjoyed. A relaxing evening rounded off the weekend nicely.
