Sunday once again...

I figured my old iPod did not push the time back overnight...

So I stayed in bed a little longer...

Turned out it did, so I was once again up late...





Breakfast was some porridge with honey...


...and the music was 1979...

I took Anne to her mum's via picking up Jane, then drove out to Loanhead and did my mum's shopping and delivered it...

She says "hi"...


Then to the bank for her and then, the arrival of Robert and Anne Jardine and young Cole Jardine, Robert's 4 year old grandson...

Back in the 60's and 70's our families visited each other almost monthly - Robert, Anne and their four sisters, Laura, Evelyn, Elizabeth and Alison's mum, Edith, went to school with my mum...

My dad and Edith's husband, Denny, played Subbuteo Table Football on each visit and Denny kept books with the scores...

Eventually I and, a couple of years later, Robert, started playing too...

Denny died suddenly in 1988 aged just 59...

Edith passed away in late 2015...

My mum and dad were both only children so Edith and Denny were our "aunt and uncle" while the Jardine kids were the closest me and my sisters got to cousins...

It was great to see them again and much reminiscing was done...

I've not seen my mum so happy for a good while...


With the visit over and the Jardines off into the dark, I made my mum's tea...


...before heading home for my own with Anne...



We finished off the second season of "Superman & Lois" (a third is apparently on the way next year) and watched the highlights of Hearts' 2-1 win in Dingwall today...

And, all too soon the weekend was over...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Catching up with old friends...
