Food.

Had tea at the Caledonian Hotel. That is a pansy on top the fancy cake. 

I spent the morning putting a second coat of undercoat on the bedroom window, tomorrow I will start gloss painting. 

I am soon to lose a friend.  A woman I have know for something close to fifteen years. C1 is going home to Hamburg. It is the right time for her, between Brexit and her ageing parents this is the right choice for her. Hamburg is only a flight away so I know I'll see her again. But just now I know that I am only going to see her at one more book quiz. We will only share one or two more walks together. 

You can tell we are friends. You don't give a lump hammer to a stranger, and she just gave me her lump hammer.
