Birthday boy.

Younger son.... where have the years gone? He came over in the morning for coffee, scones and presents in our conservatory; that was nice. It was too wet most of today for a BBQ, so later on we six met indoors and our older son went for a Chinese carry-out for us. There was lovely lemon drizzle cake and fancy cup cakes...... and the birthday cake - made by mum, as aye. He snuffed out the candles though.... such is the world of coronavirus and enhanced hygiene. We managed social distancing etc and were pleased we could now meet up.

Watched the First Minister’s briefing. Lots of talk re a recent coronavirus outbreak at a call centre in Scotland operating on behalf of Public Health England (track and trace). Irony writ large.
