Fire.

So I was just innocently wandering along minding my own business, possibly having a small quiet conversation with myself, when suddenly FIRE FELL FROM THE SKY!!! Seriously! Granted it was attached to the end of a very large cigar butt but it very nearly landed right on my head, missed me by a couple inches! I looked up ready to shake my fist at the guilty party and "why I oughtta!" but there was no sign of anyone. It's a mystery, possibly a bilical warning of some sort - don't walk down alleyways, you should have taken the bus instead, turn around and go get that elderflower gin you were thinking about....- that kind of thing.

Before the firey fright I spent a lovely afternoon with Lorna. It's just over 2 weeks until her wedding and I was dropping off some cufflinks I'd made for her to give to Neil as a wee surprise on the big day, then stayed for coffee and gossip :) We found out recently that we both grew up in Ross-Shire and actually went to the same High school and also the same University! It was a few years apart so we probably wouldn't have come across each other then but it was fun catching up on all the folk we had in common. And a wee bit odd, I've known Lorna through Book Group for two years so this came as a surprise to us both!
