THE kids are but at the crack of dawn…Margaret takes them through to the living room and gets them some breakfast.

There’s a community lunch at the village hall so I get some work done after breakfast then wander along. Margaret’s gone in the car with some community trust info and Catriona’s taken the kids to feed the ducks…she’ll see us along there.

After the lunch I walk back and get hime just in time for Margaret, Catriona and the kids going swimming.

There’s a few orders in for West Highland Way Gifts’ stuff and also some CDs and music merch so I get busy with that while the chicken’s on the smoker. I’ll use some chicken on tonight’s pizzas and freeze the rest for jambalaya.

We have an early dinner then head to Drymen village hall for the Tenement Jazz Band gig where we have a great night…
