Day 762 breakfast out, coffee with Claire and puppy sitting for Cookie the Chihuahua 🍪🐶

It’s been a busy day!

I had to get up through the night to take painkillers for my knee but I fell straight back to sleep again. I woke up at 7am and got up before 8am to sit in the garden with coffee.

The forecast is for rain today… for the first time in a very long time, so we’re making the most of the early morning sun.

I love these mugs with my wee family on it. It’s warm this morning but the sun goes pretty quickly as it starts to cloud over.

We decided to go out for a late breakfast and went to Auchengree Farm Shop and met these lovely beauties!

This one is not for turning round… 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

I should say here that poor Craigie has some form of man flu and is sniffing and sniggering away. In fact the cow’s breathing close up sounds just like him…. 😆😘

We had a lovely breakfast and it was lovely to spend some time together after a very busy few weeks.

When I got home Claire popped in for a cuppa and a chat. Was great to catch up and it’s been too long!

The jumped into Abbie the Campervan and came up to my in laws in East Kilbride to puppy sit for Cookie the Chihuahua!

She’s a wee cutie.

So I’m sitting on their couch crocheting a border around my blanket enjoying some peace and quiet away from Mr Man Flu 🤣🤣🤣 I have my mawlaw’s lovely lasagne in the oven and to be honest, Cookie doesn’t seem to care whether I’m here or not. She got most excited when I put Mr Man Flu on speaker and she was looking for her Uncle Craig!! I am slightly jealous. I usually get Cookie cuddles when I’m here.

I did pinch a few… 🤣

This next one is called…. “kisses on the nose”… 😆 it’s very hard to take a selfie while you’re being licked to death 🤣

Check the size of this lasagne!!

Do you think there’s enough?!? 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤣 to be fair Craig was meant to be here too so he’d have had a good sized portion.

It was really tasty. It really is her signature dish!

I meant to say a few things about my visit to Inveraray yesterday but got too carried away posting photos 😆. Not like me eh?!

There was very much a mask… no mask… mask… no mask… situation yesterday. I wore my mask when I went into shops and yet felt like I was very much the odd one out. No one in the shops or restaurant had them on so I wasn’t sure what to do.

It’s funny how at my age, I still wanted to know what everyone else thought rather than what I felt was right. Overthinking much!

I got chatting to a few lovely people as well… one lady who was at the end of a fortnight holiday and hasn’t had a spot of rain for two weeks. She was over the moon at the beauty she had seen in her fortnight in Scotland. We met in the ladies toilet and had such a lovely chat.

The man in the gift shop is coming to our local Gielsland Craft Fayre on 4th June and he couldn’t believe he’d met someone who knew where it was!

Also met a guy with a Bernese Mountain Dog and we ended up talking about camper van conversion… as you do.

I love chatting to strangers as it reminds me so much of my lovely Gran. She always had a smile for everyone.

Anyway I’m rambling now. Hope you all have a lovely Saturday night.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
