Up early and, as usual, spent the first few hours of Saturday on the PC...

Downloaded the fifth in the Rheostatics Box Set series and gave that and Volume 4 which I got last night, a listen...

It’s Mothers’ day tomorrow and so today we went for lunch with my mum and my sister. We picked mum up at 12:30 for our 1 o’clock reservation and met Sheila at the restaurant, The Retreat out at Cockpen, south of Edinburgh...

The food was good, though the service was a bit slow – not that that mattered, as no-one needed to rush off anywhere...

And so a long leisurely lunch ensued, then, after taking some pics of the resident peacocks...



...we took mum home again and arrived back at Crispycat Towers around 4...

In football, a glorious win for the Jam Tarts up at Inverness 3-0 while Queens had come from behind to 2-1 up at home against league leaders Hamilton, only to then lose an equaliser in the last minute...

Still, that’s 9 games unbeaten...

In the evening Anne was off out to see neice Kitty perform ballet and tap in her dance school’s show, as only a four year old can...

I stayed at home, ran through the set for Wednesday, packaged up some CDs to sell and caught some of “Ant & Dec” – Girls Aloud were especially good, and “The Eurovision Decision” – a “nil points” score beckons once again methinks...

Later on, upon Anne’s return with excellent reports regarding young Kitty’s performance and the show in general, we enjoyed “Law & Order” and “Match of the Day”...

Highlight of the Day : Early Mothers’ Day day out
