The History Boy

I got a text from Ally today that gladdened my heart - he has been offered an unconditional place to study History and Latin at Glasgow University. Now his first choice is still to study Law - although he has a great love for History - but this offer means that the boy will definitely be going to University! We all drank a toast of congratulations to him at tea-time.
A bit of worry about my furry boy Jack; I took him to the vet this evening for a blood test because the vet likes to test that his kidneys are still functioning well and that his pills are working. He usually gets a clean bill of health, but today the vet said that he has lost weight and that there is a wee lump on his intestine. Now this might be nothing to worry about, but it is exactly the same as Jill's symptoms just over a year ago. He is to get an ultrasound on Monday so I am not going to get ahead of myself.
We all watched "Death in Paradise" which we recorded yesterday. It is very pleasant and its Caribbean scenes are particularly suitable to watch on a cold December night in Scotland!
