Troubled Weekend
Jean has not been too good this weekend. I decided to include this photo. This follows a discussion I heard the other day regarding the use of social media where everything is alway positive and brilliant in everyone's lives. Some days can be trying.
We are hoping things are better for her birthday on Sunday.

New Driveway
At last we have got a new driveway. No more car shuffling when Helen, Andrew and the boys are visiting.
And from the house.
By the garage door two slabs were hiding an enormous manhole with the main drain at the bottom. I had not idea that was there.

Jean And Erin Sewing
Erin has to design and make a cushion for a home work assignment.
Jean provided support. Right up her street. Good to see them working together. Just what Grandmas are for.

"War Horse" Visit to Edinburgh
Jean and I had a couple of days in Edinburgh which included a performance of War Horse.
We stayed in the Travel Lodge just of the Royal Mile. Dinner was at a "9a Holyrood Rd". They offer a huge selection of beers and 22 varieties of burgers. On the second night we ate at the Festival Theatre before the performance. We had breakfast at the "The Larder" by the Radisson Hotel. Creamy scrambled eggs and spicy sausage. Including real leaf tea.
We played tourist:
With plenty of stops for coffee
Walking around:
War Horse was memorable. Your imagination allows the horses to be "real" and soon you do not see the 3 puppeteers making the horse twitch and move.
I was brought back to the film Gravity which I saw last month. All the computer graphics could not make it as convincing as the stage production here.
A few more images are HERE
