Crack of dawn ferry tomorrow morning (thanks a bunch) and then down to Glasgow, where we have a special event to attend on Sunday afternoon at Scottish Opera - performance followed by drinks and canapés, which probably means juggling bits of unwanted fishy stuff in one hand and trying to sip something fizzy from a glass in the other, all the time trying to make intelligent conversation with whoever we end up standing next to. I am actually looking forward to it very much. Free day in Glasgow on Monday, not sure what to do with it as OH will probably be working, and Tuesday we fly out to Stockholm for four days.
The reason for the Stockholm trip is that we are going to see Jenufa at the Royal Opera House there, but we have other plans too. Stockholm is such a lovely city to explore and wander about in, not to mention I have decided it is time to buy the reindeer skin rug we have always wanted, because if we leave if much longer ie until after Brexit, we will have to pay import duty on it and although Sweden is no longer the scarily expensive place it was when our children were small, I'd still rather not have any extra to pay on the rug.
I really need the break. I've been working hard and I have been majorly stressed out by the arrangements for the unveiling of the George Campbell Hay stone in Makar's Court, which is now actually happening on the morning of April 21st, hurray! and we are dong our best to weather some deeply awful domestic drama just now. So all in all, a week away on our own including time in one of our favourite places, sounds like just what the doctor ordered.
