Despite a busy and at times alarming week, I feel as relaxed as I have for a long time. I have a feeling that my work situation is going to be clarified soon and I'm philosophical about it - what will be will be! And the weather is getting warm and summery; this is my favourite time of year. Today I took Grandma shopping for clothes; she was looking for an outfit for Jamie's graduation and also for Ally's Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award Presentation at Holyrood Palace. After much searching around John Lewis we found a really nice dress; white with blue flowers and she bought it although I think she has some doubts about it because it's quite bright. We then saw another lovely dress in Jacques Vert which was pink and grey, so we will have another shopping trip next week, because by this time Grandma was tired and we headed home for a cup of tea.
James cleaned the slabs ALL day - for EIGHT hours - a worthy endeavour that it would be churlish to criticise - but it would have been nice to have his company some of the time! It reminded me of when Jamie was newly born and James spent the whole of the week that he took off work digging a drainage system in the garden. I stood at the window with Jamie in my arms watching him and feeling very sad that we were not spending the time together with our baby.
However I sat outside today and enjoyed the sunshine while reading my book, which was very pleasant. Davie is nearly packed for his summer holiday in Prague, I will miss him. Later on we got a curry (I was careful not to over eat) and watched Anchorman 2 which was the biggest load of rubbish ever.
