Studying and tea

It has been a day of much studying by Ally and Davie and it was a holiday Monday for me. Ally"s final exam of this session is tomorrow, and it's Constitutional Law which Ally tells me is a vast subject. He started the day a bit down but he has been working hard and has cheered up a bit. He emailed me all of his recent Law essays which I found to be absolutely fascinating, especially Family Law, which was like reading family gossip! I'm sure the novelty would wear off if it was my job to deal with these often sad cases day in and day out. I also quite like Contract Law, but Constitutional Law is very dry. I thought his essays were very good and we argued about some of his answers which was good fun.
Meanwhile Davie has been working on his Higher Biology which I know he is worried about, and has plugged away at it all day. I think that Study Camp at Easter was good for improving his study technique. I was very proud of them both for working away all day without complaint.
I went for a swim in the morning which I enjoyed although I found it quite strenuous - when I go swimming with the school I am looking after the pupils so I can't do lots of lengths, so today's swim was more tiring than I am used to! I popped into Morrison's afterwards for a few things. On the way back to my car I saw someone - presumably a shoplifter - being taken to a police car in handcuffs - it was not a nice sight. One of the things that I purchased in Morrison's was a selection of fruit teas. I was impressed by the lemon and ginger tea that I enjoyed at Heather and Ewan's on Saturday so I got some of that, and I also got some raspberry and pomegranate tea and some camomile and honey tea (for bed time). Heather and Ewan had pointed out to us that these infusions not only have almost no calories but are also caffeine free, so I am looking forward to trying them. I avoided black currant tea however, because when I drank some many years ago I vomited copiously shortly afterwards. I'm pretty sure that the black currant tea was not the culprit, but sadly I cannot dissociate it from the unpleasant experience, so it has never passed my lips since!
