On Sunday we celebrated our niece Jenny’s 21st birthday at Two Fat Ladies at the Buttery. Her actual birthday was last Wednesday and I remember the day of her birth very well; I was teaching when the phone call came through to the staff room and one of my colleagues popped into my classroom to announce the news. The class that I was teaching burst into a spontaneous round of applause, which was rather lovely! I haven’t been to the Buttery for a few years and I was delighted with the ambience and food. There were twelve of us at the celebration, all family, and we had a great afternoon.
The Marks and Spencer’s onion and potato tortillas that I gave Heather for lunch today may not have been to the same standard as yesterday’s lunch but they were tasty with houmous and cheesy bread. I really enjoyed our girls’ afternoon, which was only briefly interrupted by a bit of confusion over the replacement of our electricity meter - the electrician didn’t manage to ring our slightly tricky doorbell properly and then I blithely ignored his subsequent phone call because most calls to our landline are sales calls. Only a frantic phone call to my mobile from James alerted me to the situation. All turned out fine and after our coffee we went for a sunny and at times breezy walk around the area (just Heather and me, not the electrician) pausing to admire views across Glasgow to the Campsies.
