Exams and good weather

James got an early flight home from Warwick today so by the time I got home he was outside cutting the grass. It was a lovely sunny day all day; why is is always good weather during exam times? James then started pruning the plum tree and Ally and Davie went out to help him. I noticed that they had lifted Jack up onto a branch of the tree and he was sitting there so happy, washing his face and looking all around. I'm so glad that he is well and enjoying the Spring time.
The boys then built a small fire in the fine Anderson tradition and they also looked very happy as they stood around it chatting. Ally and Davie are such fine young men now, both taller than their Dad. Exams are continuing with mixed success. Davie was not at all happy with his Advanced Higher Chemistry on Monday; I hope that he has done better than he thinks. Chris was round this evening tutoring him for Biology on Friday. Ally had another Law exam today; when I went downstairs at 7 a.m. he was already pacing around the living room muttering his notes aloud. He said one question went fine and the other was disappointing, however he has already accrued enough points to get into the Honours course which is great. In Dundee, Jamie is preparing for his viva on Tuesday 20th. So the boys' exams will be over on Thursday (Ally), Friday (Davie) and Tuesday (Jamie) and they can start to enjoy the summer.
