Out for lunch

Today we met our friend Kay at the 'Hunters Tryst Inn' for lunch. We walked there and back which was almost 6 miles, so fortunately by the time we got home, I didn't need any more exercise so have spent most of the afternoon sorting out household admin (obv Ann, not me) slobbing around.

Ann & Kay both opted for the Sunday roast. Ann had beef (and fed it all into her own tummy) and Kay had chicken and very kindly gave me quite a few little titbits. Yum! I also got my very own bowl of water and everyone who passed by our table stopped to talk to me and make a fuss of me. How nice was that?

To get to 'Hunters Tryst' we walked through Braidburn Valley Park and then up the Robert Louis Stevenson path. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to go into the burn because Ann wanted to keep me dry and clean. On the way back, I had to stay on my lead for a while and then we walked along the path at the bottom of Craiglockhart Hill, past Craiglockhart Pond, where I had a little splish, splash, splosh! And then through the grounds of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital.

It's been a lovely day for a walk and lunch.

PS – Unfortunately, as we reported on Friday, our car is poorly and is currently residing in 'Kwikfit'. It needs a new alternator, which could cost us between £300-600 (& I bet that doesn't include fitting it). We'll get a more accurate price tomorrow. Grrrrrr..................... I hope that doesn't mean I have to start cutting down on my treats??!!!

PPS - Looking forward to watching 'Call the Midwife' and 'Murder on the Cliff' this evening.  Well, my human is.  I'll just continue to have snooze time.  Lol!
