As I write this the rain is battering down on the glass roof of the extension, which I actually quite like because it is nice and cosy inside! Today was James' first day back at work and I had a nice lie in before doing some much needed admin such as making a vet's appointment for Jack, ordering an online shopping, reconciling my bank account using the spreadsheet that James made for me etc. After lunch it was time for Jamie and Nicola to set off down south; they are spending a few days in Manchester, Nottingham and London before going to Norway to go husky sledding and hopefully to see the Northern Lights. I was worried about the rainy weather for their drive, but at least it's not icy or snowy and Jamie texted later to say that they had safely arrived. I also got another text from Davie who is enjoying his ski holiday:
"It's amazing there's lots of fresh snow and good weather I also think I'm gettin better went down a black today and it was easy I'm in advanced group it's so fun"
I'm so delighted that he is having such a great time! Alasdair and I went down to Morrison's where he used the "Coinstar" machine to deposit the many coppers that he has saved up and to get a voucher for money in exchange. There was a processing fee of 8.9 pence per pound but Ally was still very pleased with the £49.77 that he received. We also went to the post office where Ally sent away his old Blackberry for which he is expecting to receive £46. Alasdair is so clever with money, he reminds me of James in that way. In fact he reminds me of James in many ways! We then went down to the sports centre where Ally went to the gym and I went to the pool where I swam another 40 lengths. And that brings me up to date on this rainy and windy day; we are going to watch another episode of the addictive "Mad Men" which James gave me on DVD for Christmas and have a cup of tea.
