Off to Glasgow
Posted Aug 2, 2010
I had one of my quietest days in ages yesterday. I went for a sleep in the early afternoon after a morning mainly spent catching up on e mails and then we went through to Birnam. I had hoped to see the Garden project photos in more depth than last week but it had finished. Had tea and cake/scone and then went for a walk along the river with Finn. It was very wet and we all got soaked. I had a really quiet evening. Bill made the tea and then we watched taggart.
Chris and Lizzie back today. They are going via Glasgow so that Lizzie can see Cameron. He has a resit tomorrow.
I got up really early so that Finn had some company before we go to Glasgow. We arent able to have much time there because we cant leave him for too long.

A quiet day
Posted Aug 1, 2010
As I suspected yesterday was a bit much. Still I dont have days like that very often. It was enjoyable though.
I got home sometime after 11 having had a very quick pop in to see Richard on the way home.
I sat up for a short while but was in bed just before midnight.
Today I really dont have very much that I absolutely must do which is a very nice feeling. Lots of little bits and pieces of jobs and quite a lot of emails to reply to.
I love days at home so much. The garden has the sun shining on it and it looks so nice and Finn is sitting beside me looking out stirring only every now and then to go and chase a visiting pigeon.

Off to Edinburgh
Posted Jul 30, 2010
Im not sure what to do with this morning. This is such a lovely and unusual feeling. I hardly ever have time that isnt allocated. Oh dear Finn has just chased the cat that likes to come and sit in the compost away off the greenhouse roof. That is a shame, it is nice having a cat in the garden.
So, what to do? I will take Finn out and do some housework of course but then what?
I dont need to be out of the house until about 3.30 for going to Edinburgh.
Having a big think about something I had come to terms with and also having another big think about something I have never come to terms with. Ho hum.
Right. Onwards and upwards.

Off to Airdrie
Posted Jul 29, 2010
Im up early as I have work to do for an AHS visit to Airdrie this afternoon.
Yesterday went well. I saw Anne re my SVQ and am nearly finished ( hooray), went and saw Richard, did everything else on my list etc etc. I didnt see the kids when i got home as they had gone.
Bill has the dr today. He is worried as the symptoms arent going. He forgot to order the washing machine. I cant believe that given that he has come back with 2 weeks worth of clothes to wash.
I feel very relaxed over what i have to do over the next few days. Easy day today ( as long as the roadworks arent too bad), home tomorrow am and then off to Edinburgh tomorrow evening for the Impressionist Gardens opening ( via going to see the conservatory). Saturday Im picking lesley and Anne up and we are going to the IPA conference which looks great. We are going to have a meeting at Doyles re our proposed new organisation at Doyles on the way back. I will come home for a while and then back to Stirling in the evening for Barbaras leaving do which is us plus the nursery staff.
