The morning was a right off but being dropped at Inverurie train station and the sun coming out was the start of a very good day, I met in with an old friend by accident whilst sipping my cappuccino and we chatted and made arrangements to meet up when I return in September.
The train arrived and I took my seat heading in the direction of Elgin, the journey was an hour and ten minutes and ran by at quite a sprint, I amused myself playing on the ipad. I arrived at Elgin but unfortunately having told my lift I would be ten minutes later I walked up the road, little did I know that my lift would be twenty minutes after the time I should have arrived, but it was a sunny day and I stood around in the sun shine and waited. Eventually my lift arrived, James and Lauren had unfortunately been having a tiff prior to meeting me and the air was pretty thick I almost chocked when I got in, Amelia was her usual cheery self and was completely oblivious to the mood of Mummy and Daddy, thankfully.
James dropped us at the circus and we purchased our half price tickets and took our ringside seats, excitedly looking around at all the trappings needed for the show. EEEEEEE I love the circus, as long as there a no animals, them things still traumatise my night time sleeps, never will I forget the stench of the animal circus at Danson Park in my pre teen years YUK!
The lights went down and the stars of the show arrived to loud music and even louder clapping, the clown, the acrobats, the juggler, the trapeze artists and more, all in their spangley outfits, we ooo'd and ahhh'd at the spectacle that unfolded before our eyes, especially when the man trying to stand on his stacked tins failed not once but twice, poor lad looked very nervous throughout his performance, but I have to say he was the only one. The clown entertained us through the interludes and made us laugh when he cried, and sad when he picked on the audience, but all good fun, and a great time was had by all.
We left the circus and made our way home, I should have taken the train right then, but no I decided to go back for a coffee, big mistake, I couldn't get a taxi to take me back for my train, and the next train was two hours later and would have me arriving in Inverurie at 11.30pm pffft, I eventually managed to get a taxi that would take me to the bus stop, and the 305 notorious only because of the time it takes to get from A-B, I eventually managed to get texts to my beloved by standing on my head with the phone out the window and using my toes to type, as long as I stayed in this position full service was resumed, My Beloved would collect me from Cullen so I jumped on the bus after the taxi driver dropped me at the bus stop, and an hour and a half later I was in Cullen. Had I stayed on the bus it would have been two and a half hours to Turriff, no thank you.
On the bus journey home I entertained myself by taking pictures of the view across the Moray Firth, the sunset was extraordinary and the time flew by, just like being on a train but flying not sprinting.
And so ended another lovely day with my Daughter and Grand Daughter, cant wait to seem them again in September.
Having fallen asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow I was rudely awoken once again by My Beloved's snoring, I lay there and raged, and raged, until I could take no more, I found the cure. For all my friends out there if you tap your foot or hand or even your Beloved's head it interrupts their breathing rhythm, not enough to kill them but enough to break the snoring cycle, and wake them up when they have to respond to the foot tapping, feign sleep and they think your dreaming, it worked a treat..........
