Spring-like weekend
Had an annoying headache on Friday, not quite enough of a migraine for taking pills and heading to my bed, but enough of one that going to Tescos in the evening was a big mistake as the excessive fluorescent lighting was painful :(
Weekend made up for it though. Saturday was very spring-like, milder than it has been, and lovely and sunny and clear. Cadged a lift up to Camperdown with the Lodger who was taking his bike out, and had a very enjoyable walk around Templeton Woods and up to Clatto reservoir. There were lovely clumps of snow drops and the trees are just starting to bud. Saw Tree Creepers in the woods but only signs of squirrels, was probably a few too many people about to actually see the reds. Was soo nice to be out in the sunshine and fresh air in the countryside (it's on the edge of the city with just fields and farms out the back, so aside from being able to hear the road until you get to the far end, it's more or less in the countryside), must really make the effort more often, it felt like home...
Yesterday, Lodger was up a ladder in the bathroom removing the infamous Dundee Black Mould while I pottered around tidying and cleaning. I cooked us Spanish-style butternut squash stew for dinner and we watched the final results show of So You Think You Can Dance and then V For Vendetta 'cos Lodger hadn't seen it and I bought it on DVD a while ago and hadn't got around to watching it yet. Still a very fine film.
All in all, a good weekend. Company is agreeing with me.
