The Baby Whisperer

I met a beautiful baby yesterday; Carolyn’s baby Harris. What a gorgeous wee boy he is, only five weeks old and very sweet. I was holding him and he started to cry a little bit and all my baby skills came back to me and I rocked him gently and talked to him and he fell asleep; the restaurant manager at the Three Craws called me “The Baby Whisperer” which pleased me mightily!
We have been having a nice summery time; I have been at the David Lloyd Centre nearly every day. The weather is quite changeable so sometimes at the poolside it’s like being in the south of France, and then five minutes later it starts to rain and everyone on the sun loungers runs for cover! 
On Wednesday evening James, Ally and I went to the GFT to see the Sparks Brothers Documentary. It was thoroughly socially distanced, with only every second row populated and large gaps between family groups, so it was a noticeably different experience from pre Covid days. However it was really great to be back at a cinema after eighteen months, I have missed our cinema outings.
Today James and I went through to Dundee to return Davie’s bike (borrowed by Ally), and the three of us went for lunch to a restaurant in Newport called the Boat Brae, which is across the Tay Bridge from Dundee. When we arrived the weather was a bit grey and it looked like rain, but then the sun came out and it got very warm. We sat outside on the terrace in the sunshine, overlooking the water with views across to Dundee, and had a very tasty lunch, went for a walk along to the pier, and then back to the restaurant for another drink. It was an absolutely lovely afternoon. By the time we got back to Cambuslang the forecast thunderstorm had arrived complete with torrential rain - such a contrast to the warm sunshine earlier.
