Diagonally

 Met Ronan for lunch on a crisp day. Discussed going to India. Food for thought.

Hallowe'en Cactus

Benefitted from re-potting in the spring

65

 So far so ... Goodish all things considered. Nice lunch with M and J at La Garrigue, but £35 for a bottle of Picpoul??.

Memory Lane

Went to Bruntsfield Links with FM who was down for Mike Oldfield. A lifetime ago we played lots of pitch and putt.

Mike Oldfield Music

Usher Hall, 14th October 

Oldfield's orchestral arranger touring playing Tubular Bells and others. Competent octet, quite good overall.

Setlist included Tubular Bells 1 and 2, Moonlight Shadow and Family Man (who knew).

With FM, really good negronis and chicken dishes at La Casa.

Poor old schizophrenic on the bus back.

Optician

 

Annual checkup very reassuring, pressures 11 & 12 mmHg, normal maculae and fields, no cataracts, prescription unchanged. Optician having a bad day, unable to get the automatic gear going properly so went manual. Outwardly kept her cool thankfully.

Around The World In 80 Days

 Royal Scots Club 15th August. Hazel's company, fun, lively, slick. Gilly got the tickets, Leona and all the Remus crowd there.
