People often wonder what D finds to do now he has retired. This afternoon I came upon him in the porch, oiling things. Boots, shoes, balls, tyres, all kinds of rubbery things being protected from rot.

Now he is off to mow a new path in the garden.

Tonight I'm going to take photos with Steff at a concert at Easterbrook Hall in Dumfries, where the band from The Commitments and ABC will be playing. The festival season is in full swing - this afternoon's Beltie Beer Festival in Dumfries was sold out...so if you missed seeing local band Gracefell perform, you can catch them HERE. Enjoy!
