It has been a pleasant and busy week. The warm weather continues even though the sky is grey. It has been mainly dry although when Heather and Ewan came round for dinner on Saturday it rained quite heavily - luckily we hadn’t planned a barbecue! Instead we had a chicken and fig tagine and then, as we often do at this time of year, we all looked at each other’s holiday photos. In the old days this was done by passing round prints; how times have changed as we can now display them on the tv screen. Heather and Ewan’s photos of Corsica and Italy were beautiful; they did some fantastic walking and I would love to go there. Our own photos (which we had made a considerable effort to edit down to a reasonable number!) made us feel very nostalgic for Oregon and California.
On Monday evening we went to see the Pretenders at Kelvingrove Bandstand. This is the first time that we have gone to one of the summer concerts there, and it had a great atmosphere. The threatened rain stayed away and the evening sun even came out. Chrissie Hynde (who was rocking a pair of over-the-knee skin tight black boots) was absolutely wonderful, what a voice she has! The music was great and when they played “Back on the Chain Gang” I was so happy - it’s one of my favourite songs of all time.
