A pointless mess...

To Loanhead tonight to bid farewell to sister Pam after her trip to our mum's and their joint holiday to Menorca...

To celebrate, a meal at my old drinking haunt of the late 1970's, The Laird & Dog Hotel at Lasswade...

Here is a blurry picture - just as I remember it in the 70's - blurred...



As ever, Pam regaled us with story after story...

For example, how, at 4am on the morning of their flight, she somehow managed to lock a bleeping alarm inside her suitcase, along with the keys to the padlocks which were securing the case...

...and how she managed once to fill not one but two entire sickbags on a flight from Edinburgh to London...with sick...

...and another bodily expulsion story which I regret I cannot relate here for fear of possible repercussions from the extreme bad taste police...

The food was good and, luckily, consumed prior to the telling of the latter two stories above...

We were home around 10:30 and watched "Imagine" on BBC1 which, this week, was Alan Yentob's take on Surrealism...

Unfortunately, the film tried its damndest to be 'surreal on surrealism' and, consequently, was all a bit of a pointless mess...

Then to bed...

Highlight of the Day : A night out with the family
