Where To?

A relaxing day at the Dower House with only 2 sorties each into a cold dull Edinburgh after the initial promise of sun.

My first sortie in the sun at 9 am was to get the definitive blip for the day, no luck.

My second sortie was with his Lordship for a visit to the post office and thereafter to the Museum for an extra quick recce with coffee and more blips.
There are some magical lines and shapes in the new extension which demand further investigation another day.

The place was alive with parents and children and brought back to me the memories of keeping small offspring occupied and entertained at the weekends.

There was a problem with finding each other after our individual wanderings throughout the museum, and after noticing a little boy reporting to a warder as being separated from his parents, I copied him and reported having lost an older man in a red anorak. He threatened to make an announcement over the airwaves (!!) but in the end his Lordship found me.

The first time there was a little tension in the air, but the second time around when I thought he had gone home and did the same only to find he had still been hunting for me, the air was momentarily blue.

However calm was soon restored in the Dower House and later he magnanimously offered to go out again to find a copy of today's Glasgow Herald Magazine which features daughter #4's Inventors of Tradition exhibition which is currently running in Glasgow.

One good turn deserves another, so I will expertly prepare his dinner for him - an M&S Two to Dine for £10 extravaganza of Fish and Chips and Mushy peas accompanied by a bottle of wine, with delicious desserts to follow.

How good can it get on a supposedly restricted calorie intake?
