Kip Moore and a visit from Ally

It has been a busy few days with many errands and much packing for Paris. On Thursday I had lunch with Fiona at Rosso in Bothwell. I am aware that this was the fourth lunch out in a row for me this week, a very unusual occurrence! It was just brilliant to see Fiona after her operation and follow up treatment and we had a lovely catch up. 
In the evening I went to see Kip Moore at the Hydro. The support act, Gareth, was very good, and Kip Moore was incredible. What a voice he has! Heather and Ewan had messaged me to say that they had been upgraded to a box, so I thought that I would chance my arm and ask for an upgrade too! Fortune favours the brave! And indeed it favoured me because very friendly staff at the Ovo Hydro Club desk checked if there were spaces and gave me an upgrade too! The box was great, an excellent front on view and waiter service, Heather and Ewan very kindly bought me a drink. 
I left the concert a wee bit early because Alasdair was about to arrive for an overnight before his hill-walking weekend with Davie. James, Ally and I had a cup of tea and a chat before bedtime. 
I made pizza and chips for Ally and Davie this evening when Ally came in from working in his Glasgow office, before they set off northwards. They have lots of plans for bagging specific Munros and tops that are on their lists. After they left James and I had a curry and watched some of the new series of Clarkson’s Farm. I was so inspired by his renovation of a pub near Burford, now called The Farmer’s Dog, that I made a dinner reservation there for July when we will be in the Cotswolds!
