Just a quick post because I have an early start tomorrow morning to begin an exciting weekend in Berlin to celebrate Heather's 50th birthday. I think I have succeeded in curing my jet lag! We all got a great sleep on Tuesday night and I felt more or less back to British time on Wednesday. It is definitely important to stay awake until bed time after going west to east across the Atlantic if you possibly can. Then a good night's sleep brings you back into line with normal sleep times, except that occasionally you feel unexpectedly tired so perhaps you're not quite as cured as you thought!
James did a great job of processing all the washing so we are quite organised in the house, and although James is now back at work, Davie and I are enjoying the warm summer weather. Scotland has been having an extended heatwave over the last three weeks and I think we are just catching the end of it; yesterday was beautiful and today there has been thunder and lightning and brief but torrential rain storms but it has remained very warm. Even if we have missed most of the hot weather here we can't complain because we got great weather in Alaska. Jack is being quite clingy and has been following us around the house and garden; we have been giving him lots of attention. Grandma came round for tea last night and said that Davie "has a lovely nature" which I was very pleased about. I went swimming to Tollcross again today - I do like that pool, you always get a lane to yourself. Jamie has had his head shaved in Iquitos; he sent us a photo and Grandma was torn between horror and amusement! Ally and Cat are in the north of Borneo and we will hopefully be Skyping them over the next few days. Time for bed, my eyes are closing!
