Three mustards Ally

On Saturday morning James and I decided to go over to Ikea at Braehead for a couple of reasons; to have a look at bathroom units and to buy a couple of frames for posters. During our marvellous ski holiday to Arabba I popped into the tourist office, and when I asked about posters was delighted to find that they were free! So we decided to get frames for two of them, one a photograph of the glacier and the other an attractive piste map. Needless to say, when we got to Ikea we not only purchased the frames but also spotted other items that we felt we needed such as a small coffee table, beer glasses, tealights and two bags of frozen meatballs!

The meatballs were of course for Ally, who had accompanied us to make sure that we didn’t make any bad choices regarding the bathroom units. I find it quite sweet that he feels such a responsibility to look after his ancient parents! He also has a vested interest in the bathroom because Catriona has put a great deal of time and effort into designing it for us, which we very much appreciate. 

On the way out of the store Ally asked if he could have a hot dog from the café, which was so terrifyingly cheap you have to wonder what’s in it. He then proceeded to add not one, not two, but THREE different types of mustard to it and had consumed it by the time he got back to the car!
