It has been a good weekend so far. We went out for a curry on Friday evening to Rasoi with Heather and Ewan and had a great evening of excellent food and company. I wish we had an Indian restaurant of that calibre near our house, although going to Rasoi is always a good place to meet up with Heather and Ewan. As a result of the high quality of the food my stomach didn’t complain as much as usual after a curry, and I had a good night’s sleep. James and Ally went climbing on Saturday to the Ochil Hills and I took a taxi to East Kilbride to pick up James’ car, which I unfortunately scraped in a car park last week. I was annoyed with myself but relieved at the very reasonable repair bill of a couple of hundred pounds; the Audi garage had quoted £1300 which had horrified me.
The car looked as good as new and I went to do some grocery shopping in a very jolly mood. Grandma is now able, with assistance, to move from her bed to a chair, and it’s lovely to see her sitting up. I took her a few tasty treats from Marks and Spencer’s, she loves their salmon mousse. The boys appeared back mid-afternoon, soaked to the skin and exhausted. James soaked his weary limbs in a bath and then we had a steak dinner with Ally which was delicious. We decided to watch a film on Netflix, and in light of the rather gloomy offerings that we have watched recently I chose a ridiculous romantic comedy, starring Rebel Wilson, which was good fun and had us all laughing. The twist was that the heroine doesn’t believe in romantic comedies but of course everything turns out very romantically in the end. It pokes fun at all the clichés of the genre and was genuinely amusing, we were all laughing out loud at some of the jokes.
