Today I visited the local fire station with a class and it was great! When the bus driver asked when to pick us up one of my colleagues said "When we can prise Susan off the firemen!" which I thought was very funny. I'm glad to say that I behaved with the utmost decorum! The fire fighters were really friendly and the pupils tried on their uniforms and helmets, sat in the fire engine and used the hoses, they had such fun. So did I! And when one of the fire fighters drove the fire engine round to the back of the station so that we could use the hoses outside he let me have a ride and we put the sirens on, woo hoo! The only thing we weren't allowed to do was slide down the pole, for health and safety reasons. By coincidence, I noticed later that the Cambuslang fire station had been demolished today; the fire fighters had told us that there the new one is over at the Clydesmill Industrial estate. It was strange to see such a well known building gone.
Jamie's ex-girlfriend Hazel came round and she and Jamie made us all dinner. It was lovely to see her again and we had a good laugh and chat. We watched an episode of CSI Miami, which I haven't seen for ages but which always reminds me of our holiday in the west of Canada because we watched it a lot in the evenings there. It is still very watchable.
