Awkward questions

This is my quote of the week.

It comes from surgeon daughter, in answer to a request of mine about the exam results out today for my eldest grandson - a maverick spirit if ever there was one.
I still don’t know the outcome, but in case they are below par, it may be better to remain in blissful ignorance as long as possible.

There was a bit of running about on my part this morning chasing up a missing prescription for His Lordship before the IT system at the local surgery went off air until Saturday.
It was a happy coincidence that I bumped into a neighbour whom I haven’t seen for a while and we escaped from the rain into a café for a blether.

On the way home I saw these bedraggled flowers (my extra image ) in a garden in Marchmont. I think they may be Rudbeckia, but I am happy to stand corrected.
