A good Ghost Story

Back to work officially for me today; it was the 5th and 6th years options day. This meant that David also had a meeting because he has decided to change his options - he wants to take Physics instead of Business Admin which means that he will be taking three sciences. David loves Physics but three sciences is a lot. He has promised to work hard on it. It was a lovely sunny day and it was nice to get home. Jamie has now gone back to Dundee, I will miss him but it has been really great to spend so much time with him over the last few weeks. Ally and Cat went out this evening to the west end to spend the babysitting money that Jackie generously gave them. They are going to have a meal and go to see a film at the Grosvenor. So it was just James, Davie and I at home to watch Tom Daley scraping though to qualify for the next round in the Olympic diving. We couldn't face watching hours of it though so we also watched one of my very favourite films of all time, "The Ghost and Mrs Muir", starring Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison. James has seen it before and I was keen for David to see it. It's such a classic. David correctly noticed that the ending is the same as that of the very last ever episode of the television series "Medium" which I also loved. I presume that this ending was a deliberate tribute to the film. Gene Tierney was incredibly beautiful and Rex Harrison was very good as the sea captain, with a twinkle in his eye. And of course it featured a very young Natalie Wood playing Mrs Muir's little daughter. Excellent!
