Cat had "Girl's breakfast" this morning - which meant that golf was postponed until the afternoon. Being a nice day, I popped Joseph in the back-back and Grace in the buggy for a trip to Maddy & Mark's shoe shop in Marchmont - a 15-20 minute walk away. The purpose of this visit was a little foolhardy - and in retrospect just plain stupid. Thinking that girls like shopping - and shoe shopping in particular, I thought it a good idea to get Grace some new shoes. I also believed that this might earn me brownie points on the domestic front. Yes....I'm laughing as I write this at the naivety of it all.
Grace was in an uncompromising mood - not liking anything she tried (can't think who she gets that from) - so we went away a little embarrassed that I'd been unable to spend any money in a friends new shop.....maybe her mother will have more joy.
Followed that by a much more successful visit to Toast - a cafe round the corner, where we had a super lunch. Must go back there - but without the kids...
Played golf with Andrew Senew at 3pm - played 14 holes finishing with a halved match in a scrappy game.
