I have just arrived home and I'm sitting in the back room; the colours of the back garden are amazing, all lit up by the setting sun and with long shadows stretching across the lawn. The red rhododendron flowers at the back of the garden are so bright that they look as if they are on fire.
It has been a variable sort of day. I had a training course all morning and it felt strange to be in school but not seeing the pupils. However by lunch time I was soon back in the thick of things. I then had another dreadful experience of being ripped off by a garage - a different garage this time - they must see me coming. I put my car in for an MOT this morning and the cost was horrendous; four figures horrendous. I desperately tried to get hold of James but he was in a meeting (in London) so I finally told them to go ahead. I was really annoyed but they justified all the costs to me. This put me in a bad mood which was made much worse by the fact that they delivered the car back to me more that half an hour late. I knew that it was ready because they had told me so, they just didn't bother getting it back to me on time after I had paid them all that money. I felt that they were making a fool out of me and when the car finally did arrive there was a grumpy exchange between me and the mechanic in the car park. They tried to phone me later but I will not be returning their call.
David was working hard at his Maths tuition this evening, the second last one before his Higher next Wednesday. I gave him money to get himself a Munchie box, so he was quite pleased with that. His Highers started yesterday with Biology. David is very good at Biology but he finds the essays difficult and he was not very confident about how the exam went. I hope he gets on well because he has worked very hard.
