The best laid plans
Aug. 1st, 2023 02:43 pmWe are about to set off for another short break in Scotland, planned around a long weekend helping D. cemebrate his birthday at the Old Place of Monreith.

valydiarosada will overnight with us tomorrow before setting off to do their own thing, arriving at the Old Place on Friday. That gives us an extra day to get ready before we set off on Friday morning to join them there. It will be a fun weekend in company with those who have been present for other birthdays in the past, and I am looking forward to it.
On Monday we scatter and do our own several things. I had planned to linger in very much that part of Scotland, with a couple of night in Wigtown - because hey, it's a booktown, what better base could we have? And three more nights in Kirkudbright, because I read good things about it in an article which I thought I had logged here, but can't now find.
This morning brought an e-mail from booking.com: sorry, your accommodation in Wigtown has cancelled (the business has changed hands). I have found an alternative - not in Wigtown, but in the Isle of Whithorn, which will do nicely. I'm happy to substitute 'sea view' for 'above the bookshop', and we still get to explore the same area in a slighly different order.
But this morning's ontended task (ordering from Ocado) was more rushed than I liked: I hope I've remembered everything!
