The Visit

Today felt almost normal. Black moon boot and I managed to assemble a lunch for Lorraine from Lolz café in Kirkwall who was down in Edinburgh visiting her son. To be entirely honest, the shopping was done in tandem by a neighbour and Porty daughter; all I had to do was cook it and present it.

It was so lovely to sit down to a meal and hear all the Orkney news and reminisce about my recent holiday when Lorraine and I swam in the sea at Stromness and I was adopted as a Majestic Mermaid.

I was incredibly impressed that she found her way in the bus from the other side of town to my back door without getting lost en route. Full marks awarded for negotiating the journey and for being a super guest.
