My busy day was Saturday because Jackie and I went into work to have a really good go at a task we need to do. We worked very hard and got lots done. For lunch we popped down to KFC for half an hour. It was a satisfying, even quite enjoyable, day because of the progress we made. I gave Jackie a lift home and we saw lots of kilted football fans walking about the South Side after the Scotland / Bulgaria match. On the way home I popped in to see Marjory to give her some information about the Duke of Edinburgh Award - Jenny will be starting the Silver Award next year - and we had a pleasant chat. In the evening we had a curry from Shimla Pinks. James, Ally and Davie picked it up on their way home from hill-walking; they climbed Ben Vorlich with the club and had a good day. They were quite midgy bitten because it was very still and humid. The temperature seems to have shot back up again and although the sky is grey, it is warm and sticky.
My quiet day was today; I started it with a really lovely long lie and James made pancakes as a treat which we ate in bed. It was a very leisurely day during which we had a short shopping trip into town to get Ally's travel zone card for going to University and we also took him for a celebratory lunch at Zizzi's which was most enjoyable. Now we are watching the closing ceremony of the Paralympics and I am liking it so far. After the flag bearers came into the stadium we are having a procession of bizarre "steam-punk" vehicles, which are actually pretty impressive. Update at 11 p.m. Coldplay were excellent and the closing speeches from Seb Coe and Philip Craven were very good and quite moving.
