We woke up this morning to heavy rain which quickly became torrential. However it cleared up and the afternoon has been rather lovely. Before visiting Grandma, James Ally and I went into town so that James could give Alasdair advice on choosing a new suit. Alasdair warned me to keep well away so that I wouldn’t annoy him, so I wandered around Marks and Spencer’s and then John Lewis on my own until they had chosen a very smart dark blue suit. We then had a celebratory lunch in the cafĂ©. Ally had quite fancied buying the matching waistcoat but decided that it was too expensive, so I secretly bought it for him and he was very pleased. We also bought a new barbecue in the Marks and Spencer’s sale - it was £10.50 reduced from £40 which I thought was an excellent bargain.
In other news, Davie phoned to ask how Grandma is and said that he and Chanel have had a great time in Amsterdam; and Jamie also phoned to ask how Grandma is and told us that he is in Melbourne, Australia for a genetics conference. My travelling boys!
