We have arrived back in Ullapool after a pleasant week in Cambuslang. On Monday we went to Play, Pie and a Pint at Oran Mor, which was quite good with a neat plot about someone who thinks that he can predict the future. I had lunch on Tuesday with my Dad’s cousin Janet, who has just turned 88. She is an amazing lady, and is so well-informed and interesting and has a great sense of humour. I met up with Jackie at a new restaurant that she knows and it was brilliant to see her. She has been going through some difficult times with her health recently and has stepped back from work, but as usual she was so positive and strong. And I also went to my East Kilbride book club which was lively as usual and we made some fun plans for Christmas celebrations. It was all very social!
We were delayed by one day in our departure to Ullapool because the car was in a garage for repairs after its scrape in the summer, and they were in no hurry to get it back to us. However as soon as we retrieved it we set off northwards with the cats and arrived in the cottage by tea-time last night. It’s lovely to be back; the weather is cloudy but warm, and we are having a relaxing time.
* Update in the evening - we went out for dinner to the Ceilidh Place where the food was absolutely delicious, and noticed that it’s very quiet now that it’s the off season. It wasn’t just the restaurant that was quiet, it was the streets and the front as well. James said it was as if the whole place was holding its breath. It was dark and warm and hardly a breath of wind.
