The wanderer returns

I was at the swimming pool with a group of pupils today when I got a text from Jamie: "Guess what I'm doing?". "What?" I replied. "Playing your didgeridoo" winged back his response. The boy is home! I knew he would be back within the week but didn't expect him quite so soon. I was delighted and hurried home to see him when school finished to get a hug. Ally was already there, he had discussed his subject choices with his tutor and they have come up with a solution acceptable to him (and us), so he wasn't in a bad mood. Then David and Antoine arrived; Davie was thrilled to see Jamie and Antoine was also pleased to see him again. In the evening Ally took Davie and Antoine by train to the Rangers v Marabor game at Ibrox, (Antoine was proudly wearing the Rangers strip that we gave him last year!). They enjoyed it and it was a draw but Rangers were put out of Europe on aggregate. James and I decided to take Jamie out for a meal. We went to Prezzo, which we enjoyed very much when Ewan and Heather took us there a couple of weeks ago. Before we went in we walked along to George Square to see the American street signs etc for the "World War Z" movie which is being filmed there. No sign of Brad Pitt. We had a lovely meal and Jamie told us lots about his travels in Australia. He has had wonderful time; he particularly enjoyed his Groovy Grape tour from Adelaide to Alice Springs because it was a very friendly group and driver and they visited really interesting places, sleeping in "swags" at night. And he seems to have fallen in love with Melbourne; he says that he would love to live there. And there is a girl he is very fond of in Darwin (the dancing teacher!) who may be visiting us in November! It is so great to have him back!
