It was rainy on Monday morning so we had breakfast with Alison and Hugh and then James lit the fire in the lounge and we drank coffee and had a really nice chat. It has been great seeing Alison and Hugh this weekend. They set off northwards late morning and James and I headed up to Boots in East Kilbride to get our flu jabs. Jennifer has had flu for the past week and she says that it has been horrible, so James and I decided to book flu jabs; better safe than sorry. We had to pay because we are neither over 65 nor in a vulnerable group, but it was not expensive at £20 each.
Over the last few days I have noticed how early it’s getting dark. On the other hand I’m not feeling chilly any more, so I’m definitely used to Scottish winter again after our holiday. Yesterday I had a sunny walk in Pollok Park with Kathryn and Sheila, followed by coffee at the Burrell Collection. On a November Wednesday morning the restaurant was delightfully quiet. And then today I had a sunny drive down to Ardrossan to have lunch with Maggie, Libby and Wendy at Cecchini’s. Unfortunately Helen was not able to come because she was at a funeral. We had a good laugh as usual and I listened to Gyles Brandreth’s Rosebud podcast on my way home. He was interviewing Timothy Spall and it was very interesting.
