Parkour at the park

We continue to be a house of much studying as both Ally's and Davie's exams approach. Ally's Law exams start first; in fact they start tomorrow. He seems to have got past the anger and despair to an eerie calm and is walking around with lots of notes written on cards which he asks James and I to test him on. I am feeling very perky and wonder if it is due to the exercise that I am now taking daily. I don't mean lots of exercise, but some is better than none. Ally and Davie both accompanied James and I on our walk three times round the Heritage Park this evening (three times round = 3.6 km). There were some wee boys from a football team training there, and one of them ran past us shouting to his friends "I'm doing Parkour!" He then tried to run across the back of a park bench and plummeted to the ground painfully! Luckily he didn't seem to be seriously hurt and we all tried not to smile as he limped off! Nature man James pointed out a heron standing among some reeds, it was quite big and flew off with its legs trailing behind it. And we also noticed a memorial (one of many at the Heritage Park, the whole place is like a memorial garden) which has a little hedgehog ornament with a solar panel on its back. We're not sure what the purpose of the solar panel is and James suggested that maybe its eyes light up in the dark. Which I think would be rather spooky! We had a good laugh; Davie commented that I was blocking his way on the path and James said that he could slingshot past me using my gravity. They are so cheeky! I think the fresh air and chat did Ally some good.
