James suggested on Monday morning that we start our new routine in the way we mean to go on, with a visit to the gym. I was very pleased to agree because I really would like to get fitter. So we went down to the gym together and it was good fun. Needless to say James ran on the treadmill whereas I only walked, but it’s a start. It was a lovely sunny day and after doing some errands (including taking Tom to the vet for his annual booster jag!) * and housework and visiting Grandma we sat outside in the garden.
Today was a bit different though. We had a day out, just our two selves. This is not unprecedented but it’s exciting to spend the time together. We visited Rosslyn Chapel, which I have been wanting to do for ages. We took the tour and it was fascinating. The carvings and imagery in the Chapel are unique and the guide told us all about its history. We went for a walk in Roslin Glen Country Park, where we saw lots of wild garlic and bluebells. And we treated ourselves to lunch in Leith, which was brilliant.
So what will our routine be? I think that we will have to work it out as we go along, and I think it will take us a while to settle into it. Also, we want to be flexible - if the weather is good, the housework can wait and we will head outdoors.
* Of course Tom was horrified when we produced the cat carrier and miaowed in his wee cracked voice all the way to and from the vet’s in the car.
