Another Quarantine Birthday

So here we are at the end of another week in lockdown. We have been incredibly lucky with the weather so have been able to go out for walks in the sunshine every day. Yesterday I was back on the top of Dechmont Hill, gazing over Glasgow to the Campsies. I tried to descend by a different route towards Nerston but ended up walking around the perimeter of a field which was bounded by thick gorse bushes while being regarded suspiciously by a herd of cows. I ended up retracing my steps via the golf course.
On Wednesday it was Cat’s 26th birthday. Since a quarantined birthday is of course very different from Cat’s fabulous 25th birthday celebrations on Skye a year ago, we did our best to make it a special day for her. David baked a lovely chocolate birthday cake and she received lots of cards and presents from friends and family. She also FaceTimed her Mum and Dad and brother. Happy Birthday was sung, kedgeree was served for dinner (Cat’s choice)  and then she and Ally went for a (presumably romantic) evening walk around the park together. It was a good day.
