A bouquet of flowers

I got an email from Jamie this morning! He is back in Darwin and has taken a trip to Litchfield National Park with a friend, where he swam in rock pools and waterfalls. He is staying with another friend who is a dancing teacher and he has visited her school to speak to the pupils about how muscles work! Sounds like he is having a wonderful time. He has wanted to do some proper travelling and now he has had the chance. 

I drove straight to Biggar first thing, gave a talk about Autism, drove back and popped into the house for a quick coffee before heading to school. By now it was just after 11 a.m. and when I went into the house I found that Alasdair and David were both still fast asleep in bed! Oh well they should relax now; in a week they will be back at school! When I arrived at school there was excitement in the staffroom because a large and beautiful bunch of flowers had been delivered for me. I opened the accompanying gift note to find that it was a thank you from the mum of the pupil I accompanied to Paris in June; she wrote that he enjoyed it so much that he has not stopped talking about it since! It was so kind of her. More meetings and I got my admin ready for the return of the pupils tomorrow, then home and had a curry with Ally and Davie. James is at the Edinburgh Fringe tonight with colleagues and he is staying over at a university hall of residence. Time for a wee cup of tea.
