Reprieve!

JR had her double gym session this morning, and I made a real effort to keep going without stopping and sitting as much as actual pedalling. I raised a bit of a sweat glow. Then I lay on the day bed and did some leg raising exercises. Then Jordan came to take Archie out for a big walk in the Hermitage.

Later, JR went to the supermarket, while Archie and I took a dander down to the cafe (the one that doesn’t charge extra for soy milk). It was busy, but a chap said I could join him, and with 'Mellow Yellow' on the soundtrack, he exclaimed that he came from the same place as Donovan, but I mistakenly guessed Paisley. After chatting about all the famous folk from Paisley (check them out) we then had a good chat about the state of the world.

When we came back I decided to give Archie a trim. But the clippers wouldn’t work! He got a reprieve - so did I - I was able to relax on the sofa instead, and read my big book about the history of whaling in Shetland. I’ll have to send the clippers off to be fixed.

Hazel popped in after work for a glass of bubbly - she starts her two week holiday tonight. She's delighted that Archie comes and sits near her now. Don’t like to tell her that it's because she's eating something and might share it with him...
