We had a very good evening at Heather and Ewan’s on Saturday. Andrew was at home for a few days before he moved into his new flat, and it was extremely nice to have a chat with him. Ewan cooked us melt-in-the-mouth lamb steaks, with really unusual and delicious mashed potatoes with chopped olives. However the pièce de resistance had to be Heather’s Aperol Spritz cake; it was moist, tasty and very appropriate for our shared interest in this cocktail, which involves sending each other pictures of Aperol Spritzes being quaffed around the world on various holidays!
On Sunday Alasdair, James and I went to the Ayr Air Show. This time James had reserved us seating at the front of the promenade, which meant that not only did we not have to carry deckchairs, but we also had our own portaloo! Well, when I say our “own”, I mean that it was shared only by the other people in the reserved seating area, but it was still good to have it so handy. The weather stayed dry - just! At one point there was more than a suspicion of a drizzle but it cleared up again and we were treated to various aerobatic displays culminating in the brilliant Red Arrows.
