Diary of an Edinburgher

By LadyMarchmont

Pretzel day

JR went off to another gym session - not a class this time, just using the equipment. She says it’s great - hardly anybody there. And she gets in 1,000s more steps!

I went round to get wee Pretzel - she stayed with us for the day as her mum is very busy on Tuesdays. When Robert came for Archie Pretzel got all excited and went rushing out too, as Archie was going crazy when he saw Robert at the gate. But big bully Archie didn’t want Pretzel to get any pats from his friend Robert, and blocked her way.

I spent a long time on the phone to various people - the boiler man, the surgery re a prescription mix up, the ‘swinging wheels’ chap, and even the specialist who had spoken to me months ago and gave me new pills, which I didn’t take. ‘Fair enough’ said she, but had no other suggestions.

I watched ‘The Repair Shop’. I so admire those dedicated professionals - such care they take. And I love the emotional reaction when the people come back and see their mended item.
