ladies (and gentlemen) who lunch

As I'm feeling a lot fitter and healthier these days, I've decided to help out at the Lunch Club again, acting as a volunteer serving the soup, sandwiches, tea, coffee and cakes and clearing up afterwards, and of course enjoying my lunch too with the club members.
They are a lively, cheery bunch, and I know a lot of the older ladies from church. I didn't get a chance to play dominoes this week or get on with any of my knitting, but I may well do next week.
I've put my hook to one side for a moment, been stash diving and I've cast on another Ralph hat (in a smaller size) to go into the Operation Christmas child shoeboxes this week.
 I enjoy putting the boxes together and have been given lots of donations to make up extra shoeboxes. People are be so kind and generous

lovers who lunch

D took me for an early birthday lunch today sans enfants to Valvona & Crolla's Vin Caffe, which is a lovely Italian bistro, great food, warm friendly atmosphere, and a chance to have an uninterrupted conversation.

Yes, we did talk about our kids, but it was nice to have him to myself for a few hours.

Afterwards, he took me shopping to Jenners to buy me some Sheila Fleet jewelry. Normally he chooses it himself, and he has picked some lovely stuff over the years, but he does need me there to try on rings!

So, a lovely romantic day in the howling gale and rain in Edinburgh, though we barely noticed the weather!
