September sunshine

 Wow! The weather is just absolutely gorgeous; what a bonus at the beginning of September. Today was very warm with a beautiful blue, cloudless sky. I sat outside in the garden in the afternoon; the birds were singing in the trees, and James was relaxing on one of the benches after his big daily walk. The weather has to be extremely good for James to sit still! Flora was lying sprawled on the slabs nearby, sunbathing. When James went to make a cup of tea she moved on to his seat (with its cushions!) so I brought out more cushions for James so that he wouldn’t disturb her. Tom preferred to lie on the table just inside the patio doors, where the sunlight made his shiny black fur extremely hot. It was all rather idyllic.
In the morning Marjory and I had walked along to Burnside for coffee and tried out the new café “Hugh’s” which has opened in the old Café Gelato premises. So far so good, the waiters were trying really hard so we were asked if we were enjoying our coffee about a dozen times! We had a good catch up, very pleasant.
Later I went over to Carolyn’s for an afternoon coffee and chat; former baby Harris has turned into a proper wee boy! He’s about two and a half now. What a cutie, he invited me to play with all his best toys and to repair his toy car and speak on his toy phone. Aw he’s so lovely.
I went straight from Carolyn’s into town to meet James for tea before “The Pink Floyd Experience” which was exactly what you would expect. The tribute band did a fine job of delivering two hours of Pink Floyd’s best known music. Even I was singing along to quite a lot of it. It was still warm and balmy when we travelled home by train.
