Resolved.
The issue with the new bed is resolved. There has been a little confusion over delivery 'by the 1st September' and delivery 'by the end of the 1st week of September'. The bed will now arrive next Wednesday. A specialist firm of bed installers has been retained by the company . ' Our beds cannot be put together by just anyone' says the head of shipping in a tone of voice that makes it quite clear that Angus is a philistine.
Sophie continues to glide through this change in her lifestyle and routine. This morning she has a lengthy drink from a bowl placed strategically outside a hotel. A group of golfers from Montana come out to greet her. They don't have a single Ginger Snap between them so they are soon ignored.
6:45 am. As Angus and Sophie finish our morning walk a cavalcade of vans sweep down the road - there must be 60 of them. This happens every morning. It seems that all the electricians and builders in Scotland are working round the clock to get the university ready for the new semester. The fact that this 'rush hour' also happens on a Saturday and Sunday hints ( triple overtime ?) that something is not happening on schedule.
After all this excitement the best thing a girl can do is snuggle up with an old friend and have a well deserved napette.

Congratulations on the bed! Let's hope it's the right one that turns up. Your photos of Sophie on the beach fascinate me. Our former weekend house was a five-minute walk from the beach, but Cherry really never understood the attraction and became very nonplussed whenever the water flowed in unexpectedly.
I’m so glad the bed situation seems to be resolving… I’ll believe it when it arrives, is the correct pattern headboard and is bolted together satisfactorily! Not very trusting, am I! Lovely to see Sophie so settled. Well done both of you.
We all know that "you're a philistine" tone of voice! We wait, with bated breath and fingers tightly crossed that it's the right bed, and all goes according to plan.
Inca agrees with Sophie - if the golfers haven't a single Ginger Snap between them, then they are not worth bothering about.

I rather love that the FES services vans are almost disguised as Royal Mail! (Had to enlarge the image and put my glasses on to see why there were so many 'post vans' parked up...) Love that sunrise beach pose, Sophie! YAM xx
Nice walks on the beach, followed by a long nap, what a wonderful life
Like Virginia above, I am hoping that there is not a 'counting your chickens' aspect to the title of today's post...
Love the 'Sophie on hte beach' photos.
Cheers!

At the railway yard, we switchman would joke, ‘for a nickel, or a dime, it’s fifteen cents on overtime!’
A pup and her old friend. Sweet.
I work at a university. Several years ago I noticed that they were repaving the main quad on campus. I had never, ever seen so many workers in one place at one time working to complete something! It was a thing of wonder. Same with th pandemic. Immediately upon lockdown all the air conditioning was replaced!
It looks nice an cool there. Here in Los Angeles we're heading into "triple digit" temperatures! (It's 88F now, at 8:45). Maybe there's a room available at the Russel Hotel!
You look very content Sophie PON.
Sending you a kiss for that delicious nose.
Keeping all crossed for the safe delivery of your bed.
Have great evening.

Stuart would like to know if the midges are a problem up there in the summer?
We had no problems in the Borders by the Kale Water.
Well done to St Andrews getting all the trades vans in Scotland. For the rest of us, it's a very long wait to get any work done by any trade. Brexit has seen trades emptying out to go back home to Europe, and a further wave of returners during the pandemic has obviously decided not to return to Brexit Britain.
