Up super early to get the podcast done...





Brealkfast at home with the radio and then, a quick listen to some Harold Land...


...from this box of goodies...


Out and to Anne's mum's...


...for chat, coffee and biscuits and halves of chocolate éclairs...


The view from her window...


Jane arrived too...




The ladies...


We'd agreed earlier in the week that, artehr than a takeaway tonight, I would cook...

So, we drove to Lidl at Broxburn for me to get ingredients (I failed on a couple due to lack of stock) but the reason for Broxburn was the proximity of the Union Canal to the shop...

Sandwiches were enjoyed at the waterside...




Hmmm...


A call from sister Sheila - mum apparently not well..

Stroll cut short...


Dropped Anne home and headed out to Loanhead around 2...

Sheila was there - mum turned out to be fine - in fact she was actually less unwell than she usually complains of being...

Nonetheless I sent Sheila off and waited for the district nurse to arrive...

Dressings were changed, advice was given, reassurance was given and off the nice young lady went...

I was home just before five, having picked up the missing ingredients on the way...

And so, I cooked - chicken on creamy leeks...




It actually turned out pretty well - much to our surprise...


Another Saturday evening of good food, "Deutschland 89" and "Vera" ensued...

Highlight of the Day : Cooking...successfully...
