Jubbly June

A beautiful day.  Years ago, this weekend was the June holiday weekend in Gordon District and I remember some glorious sunny holiday weekends, often involving a fundraiser for the Community Centre.  

Today I took advantage of the sun.  After the usual Saturday chores I headed to Bonaly for a walk in the hills.  It must be 30 years at least since I've been there.  Not as I remembered, well the trees have really grown in the last 30 years.  There were people but not too many. I saw a deer, a heron, fisherman at Clubbiedean, mountain bikers, walkers and some alpacas out walking but I felt really naked as I did not have a dog (or dogs) with me. 

Home to sit (snooze) in the garden before it was time to wash and brush up for the evening's event.  I was at 'Cross Currents' the College PASS end of year dance show at the Churchill Theatre, again first time since 2019.  I fed Alfie on the way there and ended up being the only 'distinguished guest'.  This meant a lot of wine and sandwiches went to waste.  It was, as ever, excellent.  Such energy and joie de vivre.

It was still a lovely evening when I got home.  I ended up watching snippets of the Palace Party - Paddington, amazing light show and shots of the young Royals.  It still feels sad.  'Long and glorious' are empty words when you are 96.
