Working Holiday and Babies

Today was a holiday but I was in school to make sure that all went smoothly for our pupils during their Physics exams. I found it all very peaceful without the rest of the pupils and my colleagues, and did some useful organising and emailing. It was no hardship to be at work because the weather was very rainy; I felt that I had already enjoyed the best of the weather over the last few days. At lunch time I popped round to see Susan and Greig and their baby Ruaraidh. I was so glad to meet him; he is the smiliest, cutest baby in the world. His big sisters dote on him and he adores them, watching everything they do. They are a lovely young family. This baby talk reminds me that we are having an "Anderson Family Royal Baby Name" competition to celebrate the impending birth of the first child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who will one day be our King or Queen. These are our nominations:
Grandma - Victoria or William
James - Susan or George
Susan - Georgina or David
Aisling - Eleanor or Andrew
Alasdair - Catherine or Henry
Catriona - Elizabeth or Philip
David - Margaret or Robert
Jamie- Aoife or James
Hmmm, I wonder if any of us have chosen correctly?
Back at school, David had his Physics Higher in the afternoon and I went to the gym for a while. I had it all to myself so I was singing lustily along to my music while I was on the treadmill. When David came out of his exam he was happy and smiling (unlike his emotions after his Maths and Biology exams!) He thinks that it went very well so I was delighted for him.
We had a great curry from Shimla Pinks for tea and now the sun has come out so the garden is flooded with evening light. The leaves on the trees are the beautiful bright green of new growth. And so ends a very pleasant holiday weekend.
