Nice to catch our pal Tom (second right) playing with the uke group at Doune gala day 🙂

THERE’S some mercy to get finished off, packed and in the post before midday.

When I get to the post box it’s not quite noon but the wee ‘next collection’ sign says Monday. Mmmm…

Nevermind, we’re off to Doune to see Catriona and the kids and go to the gala day so well may be find a later post collection en route. Sure enough, there’s a postman emptying a box in Buchlyvie and he happily takes my stuff.

We have a great day in Doune – I find some folks willing to service my bike, spot our pal Tom playing in the local uke group, b ump into an old friend (Lee-Ching) that we haven’t seen in ages and generally have a nice family afternoon.

We have a lovely meal at Catriona’s then head home in time for bed.
