Planning ahead.

So, it's rolled around to another Friday and today was predicted to be warm and sunny yet again!

Sophie and I went to the bank mid-morning and called into Costa for a quick cup of coffee and a sandwich. Sophie chose a seat next to a man who was obviously very lonely as he tried his best to engage us in conversation for the whole time we were seated. He was harmless, and I did feel for him, but I really didn't want to have a chat with a stranger today, preferring just to talk to my daughter about our Scottish trip that I booked this morning.

We're going to visit the Ardnamurchan Peninsula in August, staying for three nights at a little B&B and while we're there we're going on a Whale Watching boat trip which lasts all day. Sophie is very excited as she's really hoping we'll see Orcas. The boat trip goes over to the island of Muck where we'll stop off to have afternoon tea and the scenery looks breathtaking. I'm really looking forwward to going back to Scotland and maybe we'll try and visit Skye while we're there and show Sophie where we used to stay. The last time we were on the island Sophie was a baby!

Despite thinking we'd have to stay late today we were able to finish at 3pm and we had time for a quick swim and a wallow in the jacuzzi at the gym before going home. Keith had prepared a curry for dinner which I had to finish off in between picking him up from the pub and Mike up from Brixworth!
