It was great to see Andrew as well as his mum and dad last night, and it was a fitting occasion for a celebratory curry because Andrew has just heard the news that he has also been successful in getting a traineeship in a law firm for when he completes his Diploma. So that's him and Ally both set up with their first law jobs! It was a jolly evening and back at the house we had a great chat and a laugh about books and blogging.
Today I went round to meet two and a half week old Eva Park, daughter of my friend and colleague Shona. She is an absolutely beautiful little girl with such a sweet face. It was really great to hold a new baby, so soft and warm. Shona looks fantastic and seems to be a natural at becoming a mum.
And at home I have my cats to keep me company; they are definitely aware that there are some people missing from the house and have become unusually affectionate towards me.
I have heard several times from the intrepid hill walkers in France. First from Val d'Isere and secondly from Tignes. They have great weather and have been enjoying their big hill walking days. I do miss them but I'm so glad that the boys are having fun with their Dad.
