On Sunday when Ally came home from working at Hampden he was wearing a smart blazer instead of his usual fluorescent jacket. He looked great! It turns out that he has had a promotion - he is now in the hospitality team instead of pitch side or on the gates. He now gets to mingle with football managers and SFA officials. However there's no pay rise - only the blazer!
Ally and I went to Tesco this evening to buy him a cover for his new Kindle. Jamie bought him the Kindle as a late birthday present and for his holiday and Ally has downloaded all of Jamie's and my books which gives him plenty to choose from. On our journey I noticed that I could feel tension emanating from every pore of Alasdair's body; he was unusually subdued and solemn. This surprised me. After all, he has been planning this trip to South East Asia for about five years and he usually seems so confident. I questioned him and he said that he does feel nervous because he is going away for such a long time and so far away. I found this to be rather endearing and when pressed he even said that he will miss me. Oh Ally, I will miss you too!
