Fiona's Quiet Life

I have not been idle.….….well not all of the time.
and any­way the blisters on the palms of my hands are sore, great excuse for not weed­ing the garden.
brother is here from Den­mark help­ing Lind­say dec­or­ate his flat, so i drove over to B0’ness near Gran­ge­mouth to visit them, the Sat Nav denied all know­ledge of street he lives in , which is a pity because i knew i had been there before and expec­ted it to be in the list of pre­vi­ous places visited.….….wish i could remove some of them there are way too many .….…..any­way, address wasn’t in it so had to txt Gor­don for the name of street, ruin­ing sur­prise visit.then drove all round the place look­ing for the street, didn’t take long , bo’ness is small, lovely view of the firth of Forth from his win­dow.
they went off to buy more paint and i went to visit an old friend who has just had her 95^th birthday.……she told me i was a awful lassie and that i hadn’t improved, which pleased me greatly.
des­per­ate for a cup of tea vis­ited drew, who pro­duced pho­to­graphs from 30 years ago.….….if i had real­ised what i looked like i would have had more fun.….…then it was time to go back and pick up Gor­don and Lind­say and col­lect Laura from the ski slope so we could go out for a meal.…..Lindsay was feel­ing head achy, so it was just he three of us. drove almost through the arch of a spec­tac­u­lar double rain­bow, it seemed so close the we could touch it.
now try­ing to clear out the gar­age because build­ing work starts on Tues­day and that involves tak­ing down hideous old leaky gar­age, which is full of rust­ing tools. tried yes­ter­day but gave up in des­pair, will give it a go today.

i know noth­ing is worth much but it seems waste­ful to see it all go in a skip.Nicola sug­ges­ted i should open the door and tell free­cyclers to come and take any­thing they want. might just do that.
