First of all I am glad to say that Ally is feeling a bit better; I could tell just by talking to him that he was more like himself, and during the day he got up and did some studying. However he's still not 100% and still feels nauseous from time to time. I had a very pleasant day indeed. I went over to meet Heather at Rouken Glen garden centre, and we had a lovely chat and planned our "Aye Write" outing on Saturday. We looked around the garden centre and ventured out for a wee walk around the park despite the rather chilly drizzle. It dried up a bit as we walked and I was glad that we had got some fresh air (Heather is a very fit girl and therefore a very good influence on me.) I then indulged myself by nipping up to Waitrose at Newton Mearns, which only took about five minutes by car, and browsing to my heart's content. Now, I'm not a keen shopper of any kind, but the joy of the experience was having the time to have a look around for no particular reason, with no pressure and no hurry. And this is why I love being on holiday.
I moseyed on home in time to make the tea, and got out my Alaska folder; I think that I have just about pinned down our land itinerary. After our cruise we will have eight days to drive about, and Alaska is huge and very interesting, so we have to prioritise what we most want to see.
When James came home Ally felt well enough to join us for tea then we had a relaxing evening. We watched University Challenge and then showed Ally "The Young Ones" version of it on Youtube which he enjoyed. Jack the cat was in a particularly loving mood and was sitting on one of James' legs as if it was Pride Rock!
