Lets have a Gala.
Bill had an appointment with Dr O and I had an appointment with Rob, my hairdresser.
The doctor suggested to Bill that his ear problems - noises within and a degree of deafness are caused by catarrh. That would seem to be the most logical explanation, but ears can be fragile.
My hair looks good after Rob set to work on it.
I caught up with how things are in his life. His partner has been really ill, declining health all the time. At last some decisions have been made - the colostomy that she already has is at fault, infected and badly damaged. Next week she will have surgery to create a new colostomy system.
Rob likes to talk with me about it, because he knows that I have "delicate" health issues.
The car is now loaded up with things we don't want anymore. We will spend a few hours tomorrow morning, hoping that other people might want our discarded items. We will be at the Ford car boot sale by half past seven. It will be hard work, but fun - and hopefully put some money back into our purses.
I mentioned Nicole, our great niece playing an important part in the Gala Day and I thought I would share with you a couple of photos.
A Gala Day in Scotland is unlike anything we have in the south of England.
In this part of the ceremony Nicole had to remove the grand crown and robes from last year's queen. She then placed a simple crown on the outgoing queen's head.
The Queen is picked from amongst girls in their last year of primary school, each school taking turn.
Nicole's mother was told by the headmaster of her school that if he had been picking Queen this year, it would have been Nicole - but she was picked for the next best part in the pageant and ceremony.
There were masses of other things going on. There is an extensive website about the Loanhead Gala Day.
