It's so clear now that you are all that I have.

Yesterday, Aunty Jean picked me up and we went to St. Andrews with her bowling pal June and June's mother Grace who is 90 and who has the same birthday as me! Anyway, we drove across the toll bridge into St. Andrews and I walked around the shops, bought a dress, and we carried on to have lunch at a pub. Aunty Jean ordered some g&t's, her favourite, and I had the Ploughman's Lunch, consisting of: salad, pickle, strong cheese, and apple, and crusty bread. Traditional and quite filling. When we finished, the gals dropped me at St. Andrew's Cathedral so I could tour around. It was quite demolished, but beautiful nonetheless. Climbed 156 steps up St. Rule's Tower and viewed the stone galleries full of tomb stones and bits of the old building. The gravestones were carved in skulls and grotesque faces and were a bit eerie. After the Cathedral, we drove past the University, carried on into town, and went to T.K. Max, which is a retail store that carries designer labels at discount prices. I bought some shoes, then June and Grace went home and I went to Aunty Jean's. Her house is a spitting image of Nana's, it was unreal. We gave Nana a ring actually, and she made fun of my accent. Afterwards, we headed to Ellen's, who is Jean's daughter. Met Taylor who is Ellen's daughter Amanda's daughter. Fuck, why bother, hahaha. We went out for Indian buffet, then met a few more relatives back home.
This morning I had grapefruit and toast with tea for brekkie, and Ellen came to pick me up around 1. We drove with Jim and Taylor to Killiecrankie, where the Scots and the English fought a battle and the Scots actually won! Taylor was really well behaved the whole time, she's only 8 but she has a cell phone and get her hair straightened every day... My god, oh well I guess I'm old now and know nothing. From there we travelled to Aberfeldy and on to Perth. Back at Aunty and Uncle's we had Turkish take-away and we've been sitting in the rest room talking and reading the paper, listening to Frank Sinatra and Simon and Garfunkle. Oh, almost forgot, I also saw an old watch-tower today in Kinnoul Hill where Uncle Douglas used to be posted with the Black Watch.
