This morning I needed to make a trip to Glasgow for a doctor‘s appointment, so I said goodbye to James, Alison and Hugh and set off southwards at about quarter past nine. It was a lovely day for a drive and the only issue was that there were quite a lot of roadworks, which meant that my journey was nearly 5 hours. However I enjoyed listening to a couple of episodes of Dr Rangan Chatterjee’s podcast about health, and an episode of Gyles Brandreth’s Rosebud podcast, he was interviewing Sir Tim Rice who was very interesting and amusing. After my appointment I went to Lenzie where Ewan and Heather had very kindly made a tasty dinner for me before my journey back to Ullapool. This time the journey went more smoothly; the roadworks were still there but there was much less traffic and it took me exactly four hours door to door. I also finished listening to Pompeii by Robert Harris on Audible, which I enjoyed. Including my drive across Glasgow, it still added up to about 10 hours driving, an awful lot for one day! However James needs the car in the morning, hence my double journey. By 11 p.m. I was sitting in the cottage having a cup of camomile tea with James. (James had lemon and ginger tea.)
