What’s started as a really slow day, has flown in.

I was up at 7 and out with Bhruic and Freya first thing…. It was SO cold I could hardly feel my fingers or speak properly. I was meant to be running with Rachel but I told her no way 😂😂😂 it was far too cold.

Just after I took these pictures it started to rain and it didn’t stop for ages.

I came back and had coffee with Craig but then saw my neighbour Holly passing, either her dog so I jumped out with Khaleesi and Calaidh. We got soaked!! It’s milder by now but still pouring. We had a great catch up though. It always makes the walk go so much faster.

By the time both dog walks were over, it was only 9.30am and the day loomed before me like a looming thing….. what to do?!?

I changed the bed… clean bed tonight, yay! Dusted and polished the bedroom furniture and hoovered the rest of the house, apart from the dining room and kitchen. I’d been fasting for nearly 19 hours when I realised, so I stopped to eat. By this time it was 11.30am.

I knew mum and dad were popping over to my brothers this afternoon. I also knew that the Queen Elizabeth Aircraft Carrier was in the Firth of Forth… I thought under the Forth Rail Bridge, so fancied getting some photos of it. so I decided to head over there at the last minute.

Just before I left Mum called to say the ship was further up the Firth opposite Hopetoun House now, so not quite the same photo opportunity!!

I got over to SQ at 2.18pm…. Having no concept it would take me an hour and 20 minutes from here… not like I haven’t done that journey so many times before! 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

We jumped in my brother’s car and he took us up to Hopetoun House where I got my photo opportunity!

Not quite as good as I hoped but at least I’ve seen it.

She’s in this photo…. Honest!

A zoom in….

On the other hand there was an excellent view of the 3 Forth Bridges! Albeit quite far away!

Mum caught me in some photos…

This old house is right next to the coast… completely ruined now.

On the drive back up to the house we drove under all 3 bridges… all these next pics taken from the car. My brother was driving.

The new Queensferry Crossing.

The old Forth Road Bridge, only open to buses now.

The iconic Forth Rail Bridge.

We went back for coffee and hot cross buns and had a good chat before I headed home again. Was barely there for 2 hours… it was all so last minute!

I had a lovely drive home so I’m really glad I went out for the afternoon and did something different.

I popped into the pub for an alcohol free pink gin, to see Craig who’d just come home from work and gone in for a pint.

I made some pasta for dinner rather than getting a takeaway. We both really enjoyed it. It’s too easy to order in at the weekend but that adds up.

Hope you all have a great rest of weekend!

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
