Bonfire at Bonaly

Back to Bonaly this evening with the Duke of Edinburgh group. I was the last to arrive because I wanted to be at school on my DHT day (which is every Friday.) I waited until after the rush hour was over and had a pleasant journey through on the motorway while listening to Radio 2. For the past few days a song has been going through my head called "Railway Hotel", it's about thirty years old. To my amazement it was played on the radio during my journey. I know - coincidence - but I was amazed all the same. Another tune was the overture to Die Fledermaus and it was tremendous - I would love to go and see that again. When I arrived at the camp site everyone was chatting around the bonfire and toasting marshmallows. A pleasant evening ensued and Keir and John very kindly pumped up my luxurious mattress for me! I also have a sleeping bag, two pillows and a duvet! On my return from the toilet block I switched off the light and lay down on my mattress only to find a mouse there! Not a real mouse but a rubber mouse placed there by my colleagues who were much amused by my cries of alarm!
