Notebook III was commenced at this point
Today, I have done precious little, apart from catching up with the papers and diary. I do go out for a walk to Goat Island, across the bay from Mrs B’s. Have a look at the yards there, and at the little green island. Then return across the causeway to the Coastguard station and go behind it to Battery Point. F&H have gone to Scalpay today, but return on time for Sunday dinner at 6 o’clock. Appetizer: hot smoked and cold smoked salmon, scallops, monkfish tail. Rosé fizzy wine. Main course: lamb with mint sauce, carrots, cauliflower and broccoli, gravy to taste. Raspberry or blackberry cream tarts for afters. Mrs B joined us for supper, and it took 2½ hours to finish it all, with a whisky. F&H went to bed at half past nine, I played the keyboard for a little while. The weather today: warm and sunny
An idyllic day...what a life.
