.... well, the sun shone and lunch was waiting so taking a ferry across the River Clyde to meet up with a friend, Mhairi for lunch was a no brainer.
Lunch venue was Loch Fyne Oyster Bar, the original one on Loch Fyne ... lunch was braw, my very favourite - scallops with black pudding, mmmm. What a treat!.

It was supposed to be three school friends meeting up at a favourite restaurant however Veronica was unable to join us due to feeling unwell but we are sure to reschedule another trip down memory lane.
It is nearly 50 years since we all were together at Oban High School and with many an adventure ahead of us. Reconnecting with the sun, with a good friend and with my erstwhile adventurous spirit was nothing short of delightful...

Monday saw me walking the farthest I have done in a long while. Driving the farthest in 8 months and smiling most of the day! Who needs painkillers?

Stopping to sit by the loch on the way home to view the simplicity and experience the peace and quiet was just what the doctor ordered. Well he was golfing... so, each to their own.
I know that the loch looks a tad lopsided but I think it is reflecting the change in my own recent outlook. Seeing things differently results in feeling things differently until "different" becomes the norm.
What a difference a day makes, eh!
Now for the ferry home ... more delight. The sunshine bringing the best out in everyone. People all around smiling. Who can resist the stunning views of the West Coast of Scotland at its best... not me and to top it all I have the feeling of freedom and gratitude of being able to reconnect with friends.
Grazie mille for a day well spent in great company...
