WE HAVE a bit of a long lie then, after breakfast Matty heads into Glasgow and Mikey back to Dundee.

I check the Ikea website to see of I can find a better, more stable coat stand. The new one Margaret picked up has couped a few times with all the stuff we have on it.

I can maybe use the crappy one in the studio.

It’d also sense to replace the table/TV bench that sits beside it with something smaller.

I find what I need and decide that if I’m going to Ikea I may as well visit the Apple Store and pick up a new iPad. I’m keen to see if I can replace the cranky old laptop and ‘go iPad’.

Lesley packs the car and leaves for Edinburgh and I brave the traffic and go to Braehead.

It’s after 6pm when I get home. Matty’s back – we chill the rest of the night.
