The Pensioner

Cup Cake

A leisurely start - the minky’s mum didn’t have her first meeting till 10am and the wee girl was happily sitting looking at her books. The big step forward is that she now goes to bed and sits with her books awhile before lights out. That’s grown up.
Another blustery day so we boarded a bus to Leith which took forever - Lindsay Road is closed as a tenement has suddenly become catastrophically unsafe. To the old Leith waterworld which is now another softplay place. It filled in an hour or so, but they’re probably better with a wee chum - Grandad finds wriggling into the small spaces tiresome. Back and the SK took over - they made chocolate muffins! 
And then off up the Omni through traffic choked streets thanks to the continuing travel disruptions. The End We Start From - one of those film titles that’ll be forever lost. Easier just to say the film with Jodie Comer and the baby. And the floods. The SK loved it, identifying with JC of course. Me, I was less impressed - every guy in it was some mute stressed hopeless individual. I mean, c’mon, be fair, some of us need positive role models! I shall stay in bed and weep.
