The view from the office this morning, pre breakfast...


...which was this...


...and this...


...before setting off down the hill, by which point, things had deteriorated a little...


Once again soundtracked by my old LP collection...


Lunch comprised a salad, containing a couple of boiled eggs...

Late afternoon, picked up by the EP to make our way to Warriston Crematorium...



 ...to say farewell to Anne's Aunt Ellen - a larger than life character when I first knew her back in the early eighties, with a joie de vivre second to none...

Diagnosed with dementia not long after having retired around ten years ago though, she had been in a care home for the last five years, for the last four of which she had been unable to communicate or indeed do anything else...

Her husband, Bob, visited her there almost everyday, while Anne's mum made a weekly visit to her sister's bedside...

Relations from South Africa were over and took a large part in proceedings which told the tale of Ellen's earlier life before the dreadful disease took hold...

We took Anne's mum home, discovering a non-working oven - the solution to which we were to discover tomorrow was re-setting the clock post a power curt which had happened on Monday...

Meanwhile I undertook some cooking of my own...

Uh oh - more eggs...


..and a plethora of veg...


I also collected my second Wergo box of the week from a neighbour's house...






Weird and tasty, a bit like my omelette...

Highlight of the Day : New Wergo discs...
