Very chilly here today. Just debating whether to wrap DGC up warmly and take them on a treasure hunt in a neighbouring village. With fresh air and a bit of exercise hopefully the 20 month old will sleep for a few hours afterwards.
Enjoy your swim anno it's something I mean to take up again but some how never get round to doing.
Enjoy your Wednesday everyone 
Another sunny day in Kintyre. The ferry from Isla is making an entrance through a low-lying milky mist on the horizon.
Have been listening to Prelude and Liebestot from Wagner's Tannhauser...marvellous, uplifting music. Rory seemed impressed. 
A phone call from our neighbour..."We're getting married!" I'm thrilled for both our good friends. They are in their mid-seventies and have been courting for twenty years. By gum, there is going to be a celebration to remember when the entire population of the village gathers in the summer. I absolutely refuse to have surgery before the knees-up. 
and more besides.
And now an email from dear friends in the South West of England. They've attended the funeral of a cousin's grandchild. She was 21 and had three children. The baby is six months! Her death is a mystery, as she was found hanging, but it is thought not to be suicide. Oh dear, from elation to great sadness in the time it takes to post on GN. 
Indeed, number...and then a second email from the friend in the SW to tell me that her daughter-in-law is pregnant with twins...a boy and girl. Time to smile again.
