Relaxing Friday evening

I have had a lovely relaxing Friday evening after a busy week. I worked on a bit after school finished, well quite a bit actually - until 7 p.m. because there was lots of small but urgent tasks that I wanted to finish. I felt really guilty about keeping Davie waiting so late; he finished all of his homework and then watched BBC iPlayer and actually seemed quite happy. So to reward him we got a Deluxe Boneless Bucket from KFC on the way home and ate it up while watching rubbish Friday night television and chatting. Ally shared our Boneless Bucket and told us more about his trip to Edinburgh. He really admired the fantastic view from Andrew's flat and its central location. They had gone to the Harry Hill Art exhibition and he really liked it - we saw it reviewed the other night on tv and it looked seriously weird! He said that the very late show that they went to was mixed but had very funny and outrageous moments. I asked him if he would write a guest blog about it for me but he didn't seem keen on the idea. I then took myself upstairs for a lovely bath and read my book. I'm now in bed (James is out with friends in town) and I can hear the boys chatting away in Ally's room, and bizarrely talking to Jack in cat language. It always amused me when they were tiny that if you said "What does a cow say?" they would reply "Moo" or "What does a dog say?", "Woof", but if you said "What does a cat say?" they would make a variety of authentic and complex cat noises which they had learned from our first cat Tess, and then from Jack and Jill.
