Anniversary Friday

I woke up feeling very happy because I had a day off. It is also our 28th wedding anniversary; our wedding took place on a Friday too. At James' suggestion I went for a nice swim in the morning. There are some horrible sights down at the swimming pool and what is worse, I realised that these are the people who actually try to keep fit - what must the other residents of my area look like? When I got home David and I practised some interview questions for his Commonwealth Games interview this afternoon. It took place at an address in Albion Street and we gave Alasdair a lift into town. Once we had escorted David to his interview Alasdair insisted that I accompany him all the way to his bank in Hope Street in case he got mugged, because he was carrying quite a large sum of money to deposit for his holiday. I didn't see why he needed a minder because how would anyone know that he was carrying money unless he started waving it about? And I don't think I would be much help in a mugging anyway! However I went with him and it was a pleasant stroll through town on a sunny and slightly windy day. I then made my way back to meet David, whose interview seems to have gone quite well. He said that he was hesitant at first but but answered all the questions. He told me some of his answers and I thought they sounded quite impressive.
This evening we celebrated our anniversary by making a nice dinner and then watching Life of Pi, which we missed at the cinema. It can't have been an easy film to make with all the CGI and other special effects, but I thought that Ang Lee had made a good job of it and had done justice to the novel. A relaxing evening.
