James had a very restless night last night and at one point he shouted out and lashed out with his arm, waking me up. I asked what was the matter and he said that he had thought that there was a fly in his mouth! He left very early to fly down to London as he often has to, on business. I took my car to the garage when I got up and then walked home. Ally and Davie were still asleep; I made myself some porridge with honey and raspberries and ate it in the garden while drinking a cup of coffee. I have to say that it was absolutely idyllic. The weather was very warm and it had been raining earlier so the garden had an almost tropical feel! James phoned for a quick chat from St James Park where he was sitting in the sunshine before his meeting. Later on Alasdair was telling me about an exciting incident at the barbecue he went to in Ealing. The gas canister under the barbecue caught fire and there were flames everywhere. Alasdair helped to put out the fire and was quite a hero! I was impressed by the sang-froid of his hosts who continued with the barbecue after the fire brigade left! Davie's friend Stuart, aka Stubo, was round all day and the boys had a pleasant time paying computer games and wandering down to the Main Street.
Ally W came round for coffee in the afternoon and we were reminiscing about our lovely time in Singapore. She was telling me about their holiday in Vietnam and Cambodia, it sounded absolutely fascinating and I would love to go there some day.
In the evening after James arrived home we watched a couple of episodes of "Yes Minister" which Alasdair bought in the BBC shop last week. It is still very good and Alasdair in particular loved it. I'm hoping that my sleep tonight is not disturbed!
