Good Timing - for once!

 Of course when we were down in Fife we wanted to zap over to Glasgow to see Son No. 2. We had originally planned to go on the Wednesday but for various reasons that got changed to Tuesday. And thank goodness it did, as new restrictions on meeting people in Greater Glasgow were brought into force over Tuesday night and if we'd left it util Wednesday we would not have been able to go. I do wonder if we would have gone anyway and sometimes I think we would and sometimes I think we wouldn't but anyway we weren't put to the test. We didn't go out while we were there except for the OH going off to Tesco for some needful household thing.

On Wednesday I had arranged to see my Central Belt friends in Dunfermline. Most of the things worth lookng at in Dunfermline were shut and it poured with rain most of the day. We did manage a walk through Pittencrieff Park which was lovely and would be even lovelier in dry weather, a somewhat uncomfortable lunch in a very full cafe, a rummage through some charity and vintage shops, a trip to a wool and fabric shop where I bought wool to be knitted up into a Christmas present and a very nice quiet coffee and scone in a very calm warm and dry pub at the end of the afternoon. The OH took himself off to the Museum of Flight at Haddington and enjoyed himself hugely; much more than he would have done had I gone with him and got bored after the third aeroplane. 

He had to book a slot to go and this was something we found difficult about the whole holiday. It was very difficult to be spontaneous about anything because most things you wanted to visit, if open at all, had to have a time arranged in advance. Even the wool shop I visited in Pittenweem - but of that more anon. 

It wasn't weather for taking photos but to show willing here's the mocha I had in the pub. 

In other news we are supposed to be having a visit from a man to repair the washing machine today. He has not contacted us with a time of arrival and there has been no sign of him.  I am aware that it is not quite one o' clock and he has the whole afternoon in which to turn up. This dos not stop me having a sinking feeling that he is not gong to be turning up at all. Well, time will tell.
