the cam­era club seemed to like my mini talk, it was a good night , four of us gave short talks on very dif­fer­ent sub­jects which made for an inter­est­ing night, no time to get bored with one sub­ject.
Had a lovely lunch uptown with Sheena to cel­eb­rate her birth­day in Pipers.….next door to the bag-piping school.

tonight at just after 5 p.m. the door­bell rings and there is one of the win­dow clean­ers say­ing that there was a 3 year old boy rid­ing his tri­cycle down the middle of the busy road , so i phoned the police and sat with the wee boy till they arrived, .….….….…..the first thing they said on the phone was ” don’t take him into your house”.….….….….….so we sat , the win­dow clean­ers, the wee boy and me and waited , then a very large police man and a nice police lady arrived and we tried to find out his name but all we got were giggles, and then the police­man went to see if there were frantic par­ents search­ing the park., but there weren’t so we all had a cup of tea / cof­fee .….….…wee boy dunk­ing bis­cuits in the police ladies tea.….….….. and waited, then the police office got a call from frantic par­ents who had thought the wee one was off with his grand­father in the car. so he is safely home, a delight­ful child, his name turned out to be some­thing like Hamsa, i don’t know how to spell it, his lovely par­ents brought me some chocol­ates tonight.

mean­while? there are two miss­ing cats in this area? hope they can be found as eas­ily, i checked out my gar­age? earlier in case one was in there.

Esther is stay­ing with me for the week­end so i must go tidy the spare room.
