Social Tuesday

This evening I went along to the hill-walking club’s social evening, which is usually held on the first Tuesday of each month. It was a pleasant group of nine of us who gathered in the Counting House for a drink and a chat. James and I used one of our Christmas present vouchers beforehand to have a meal at Prezzo across the road. It has been a pleasant and social day all round. Despite yet another heavy snow shower, which luckily did not lie on the roads, I met up with Heather in Lenzie and we went to her very smart local sports centre for a swim. I was very impressed with the facilities and also the cleanliness, which I feel that my own nearest swimming pool area is sadly lacking. It was really nice to have company on the swim and, despite chatting throughout, we swam a respectable kilometre before repairing to a nearby cafe for coffee and scones. When I got home Flora helped me tidy the house, by following me into every room, although she also distracted me a bit because I kept stopping to play with her. She really is extremely sweet. When I went round to see Grandma in the afternoon, she didn't feel strong enough for a walk, but was keen to go out for a run in the car so that she could have a change of scenery. So that’s exactly what we did, and drove around Hamilton and Motherwell for an hour or so while Grandma reminisced about places and people of her youth.
When I was tidying today, I came across my Clarisonic face cleaning brush, which I haven’t used for ages. I charged it up and this evening I used it to thoroughly cleanse my face. My skin feels glowing. Let’s hope that it doesn’t all fall off during the night!
