Davie's results arrived today; two B's for Int 2 English and Admin. Well done Davie! He's in a very good position to sit his Highers next year. So the boys are on track to do what they want to do. I'm very proud of all three of them.
Last night I finished an excellent book called "The Return of Captain John Emmett" by Elizabeth Speller. I really enjoyed it and thought it was very well written. I had to re-read the ending to check that I had understood it correctly, it was a very satisfying read. I am now starting "Cutting for Stone" by Abraham Verghese and I am planning to slow down my rate of reading a bit - ever since I went full steam ahead on Ulysses (so that I didn't lose interest in it) I have been in reading speed Warp factor 10!
It is grey and damp today but still very warm. Alasdair is visiting Grandma just now and then I will be taking him and David up to pc world to look at computers. I am doing some more admin e.g. booking the car and some jewellery in for repair, bank, estate agent etc., I'm beginning to get a slight sense of urgency because I will soon be back at work and will not have the luxury of time to arrange household things. The linoleum was fitted in the utility room today and my new pulley has arrived! I have returned the broken pulley (which took two weeks to arrive) to the first company (who were very rude to me) and when I ordered an identical one from another company it arrived within 24 hours! Gary will put it up on Tuesday. So, a pleasant and useful day so far.
