Back in good old Scotland, it has been mostly sunny but noticeably cooler than France was last week. It is most definitely autumn now, which is not surprising since we are nearly at the end of September. We have been enjoying being around the house in the company of the kitties. Suzy came round for coffee on Wednesday and I had lunch with Philippa on Thursday. I'm excited that she will be moving back to Scotland next year, as will Margaret D. On Friday Lesley and Chris came round for lunch. I made a Greek lunch in an effort to recapture the summer! Lots of tzatziki, pitta breads, Greek salad and lamb kebabs, followed by baklava. We had a nice chat; they are expecting grandchild number five next March.
In the news, Israel has been bombing Hezbollah in Beirut, after knocking out their communications last week by making their pagers and walkie-talkies literally explode by remote control. Dame Maggie Smith died yesterday, a tremendous actress. I never saw her on stage but she was always excellent in the many films and television series in which she acted. And sadly I just heard this afternoon that another Margaret has died; Margaret Eadie, Grandma's cousin Bobby Eadie's wife. She was a lovely lady, always kind to Grandma, who had been suffering from dementia for a long time.
