Yesterday evening James and I FaceTimed Jamie for the first time! Well not quite the first time, I tried it with him once before using my iPhone and it was all jerky. This time we used an iPad and it was absolutely brilliant! We got the idea from our friends Heather and Ewan who "skype" their son Andrew once a week. We could see Jamie very clearly sitting in his bedroom talking to us, and we could see our own image in a small box in the corner of the screen! We looked just like Raj's parents when they make video calls to him in "The Big Bang Theory"! It was much more fun than phoning and we ended up chatting for ages. We had needed to speak to Jamie about money matters, but I think that we will do this regularly even when there are no important issues to discuss.
This morning David and I got up a bit early and went to KFC for breakfast! We have been planning this for a couple of weeks because they have been advertising a breakfast deal including blueberry pancakes that we wanted to try! By quarter to eight we were sitting down to our breakfast and we had a really good laugh. We were trying to think of a catchy title for David's discursive essay about the pros and cons of wind farms. We came up with "The long and wind-ing road", "Old MacDonald had a wind farm" or (my personal favourite) "The answer my friend, may or may not be blowing in the wind".
Ally was away in Edinburgh all weekend and I really missed him. It's unusual for him to be away for three nights in a row and I felt that the house was very quiet without him. Today after school I took him over to Comet in Uddingston to replace his computer hard drive (which was broken but luckily still under warranty), and it was nice to chat in the car on the way there and back and hear all his news.
