Auspicious?

I finished up at school yesterday - it's not the end of term until Wednesday but I'm going on the music trip to Germany tomorrow. It was a very, very busy week but I felt very happy with what I got done. Everything is in good order.

Today James and I went into town for a short but efficient shopping trip. I got one of my favourite parking spaces in the world (right behind M&S in Renfrew Street) - the risk of trying for these spaces is that there are only four of them and if none are available you end up miles away. However today I sailed straight in and felt it was a good omen for the day and indeed the summer ahead. After our shopping we went for lunch to one of our old haunts - Sarti's in Wellington Street. We have been lunching there since before the boys were born and have always loved the Italian atmosphere and excellent coffee. By mid afternoon we were home and sitting in the garden. The kittens however were fast asleep in their beds, no doubt having been awake since dawn.

I also did some pleasant admin such as booking a restaurant for after Davie's Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award at the beginning of July and booking a couple of dinners in Yellowstone Park, and of course did my packing for tomorrow. 

And now I am relaxing with James, Ally and Davie, watching On Her Majesty's Secret Service - I had forgotten how good it is! Diana Rigg was so gorgeous.
