I can't believe it's August already!!!!

Where has this year gone? maybe it's old age but this year has passed in a flash!
I have dozens of photos ....but have lost the download ...upload connection so ho hum !!!!
Josh ....bless him, has chicken pox poor wee soul so my week is in chaos before it has even begun!

I had an amazing weekend, Allan and I are getting on so well it is a bit scarey everything seems just too easy and calm. We went fora meal at The Affair in Edinburgh, Andy just started there as a waiter and opening night was friday....... brilliant food worth checking out, it's in Hanover St. Friday night was chaotic but hey isn't that what opening nights are all about? I went on a bus! Yep from town home ....and i don't do buses lol ...... how exciting was that!

Saturday, Solo's first walk in the big world......he had his 2nd vaccination last Monday so now the world is his .... Allan and I took him with Kay & Cara & Ghia, Solo's Mum and Grandmum to Cramond beach ...... such fun and Solo was so good ..... slept for hours after, just exhausted with all the new stuff to process!
Allan & I met up with Clanny & Marge for tea at TGI friday then on to the Office Party which Pete had given us tickets for .... a great laugh .....

Sunday, ahhh that'll be today! Allan had a golf competition ...which he apparrently played badly in ..... maybe the double vodkas .... I took Solo a walk to the end of the street and we loved it !

so that's me updated .... off to bed and another week starts ......

love to everyone x

Back to work

What a fabby 2 weeks holiday that was!

week 2 included my birthday, masses of flowers and gifts and good wishes ... it was nice to be made to feel so special thanks to everyone.

Mike was away to Wacken in Germany for a music festival. Tom is off to Boston to visit Wynter for 2 weeks. Pete has started work as bar manager at Underbelly during the Festival and Andy is delighted with his new job at The Affair a new restaurant opening in town. So it's been busy busy on the family front.
Thanks to Andrew for this poster ..... says it all !

Solo is now part of my life and we have have spent many hours playing together..... pure magic.

I am back at work and Solo is of course now the star of the Clinic, how could you not love him.

I will post photos soon.

1 week .....

Wow what a week .... it has been so fun packed I have to keep pinching myself to be sure I am not dreaming.

The Proclaimers concert at the Castle was really good..... like a big party really.

A BBQ with the boys which was good fun, meeting Ange & Mary for dinner at the Spylaw Hotel, what a nice night that was. Mandy coming over for lunch on Friday was wonderful, I had forgotten how much fun she is and it was lovely to catch up. We will stay in touch now I hope.

Meeting May & Keith, Allan's Mum & Dad was another first and good fun. We took Solo over and he loved them to bits . We sang happy birthday to May and sat in their lovely garden enjoying the evening sunshine.

I took Solo over to play with Halley & Josh on Saturday while Allan played golf. Solo loved the garden and the fun running after Halley ....Josh just wanted to get at Solo but couldn't quite manage ....soon !
Last night we met up with Angie & Dave and enjoyed the decadence of an evening meal at Prestonfield House. Just lovely.
Today Allan has golf, a competition and I am planning on bathing Solo and getting some housework done ..... we will see hehe

Another weeks holiday to enjoy ..... wonderful

Introducing Solo

Solo and I are best friends..... he is adorable and such a delight, calm & laid back.

I collected him on Sunday and he has just fitted into my life seamlessly.
I am spending 2 weeks on holiday with him and the sun is shining ..... I am truely in love .

Makes me think!

I am still aware.....

Summertime

Congratulations to Paul & Olay who are getting married in Russia at the end of July. I hope they will have a long & happy life together.

Not long now .... I collect my puppy on 20th July at 3pm! How cool will that be. Andy went with me to see them on Saturday, he is excited now.
I have had a brilliant weekend. Friday evening Allan & walked hand in hand along Portobello Beach, it was sunny, no wind and not too many people. It has been so long since I have been on Portobello beach. We talked and laughed as lovers do ...... then starving as we were, went for a yummy steak at 'The Sizzling Scott' in Hanover Street and enjoyed being with each other. Allan surprised me with a present, a heart stoppingly romantic gift.... to me, others may wonder about it....... a mincer! yep a mincer you see I need one to prepare food for my pup and don't have one ...... he thought about it organized it and now I do. Thanks. Saturday was Dr Who!
Sunday I Shiatsu'ed Allan ...... then there was the Tennis .... wow what a match .... Well done Nadal.
Mandy has gone on holiday to Norway for 10 days, I usually speak with her every day, I am already missing her banter. Monday was chaos at the Clinic rescheduling patients as June was unwell, it did however give me time to begin work on the accounts ...... less said the better ...me and numbers !!!
I am again in the battle for money with Mike & Pete ...... wish me luck.

The babies are growing .....

Josh and pup
