Dinner Guest

Saturday saw a lessened summer heat, a long dog walk, a BBQ, a film, more garden camping & a heart to heart.
This morning I took poochy out for a walk
& ran into a lonely old man hiking, who obviously was feeling like he just wanted a bit of company & someone to tell his tales to. Alex has previously encountered this same man & he kept Noodle & I company pretty much the entire route round the reservoir - more than doubling my timing!
It amused me that he thought was was 22 & despite his aging eyes seemed astonished that I was 14 years senior of that age.
In contrast to this outstanding compliment, whilst I was buying F a new tshirt for his party tomorrow the man serving me asked when I was expecting, just because Ferguson came a hugged & kissed my stomach (which he very often just does!)
I was gobsmacked but saved his embarrassment by waving my hand & stating "ages away".
Later on Alex fired up his heat & we had a very hearty, meaty tea. Barney, our neighbors' dog was close at hand for any stray titbits.
The girls had another "camping in the garden" plan so he & I watched a film. This was followed by the girls choosing the comfort & security of their beds over the canvas & some deep & meaningful chat that took us into the early hours.
Not sure what the outcome of that exchange holds though, lets just wait & see..
