Birthday tea

A week ago I was on my way home from Uganda. It seems like a dream to me now. It's nice to see the pupils from the trip around school, we are always pleased to see each other because we know that we were part of something very special. I feel a bit different since I came back, less anxious I think, and I am very aware of behaviour around me that I perceive as overly entitled. 

On Thursday Davie came home from Dundee and we had a birthday tea for him. It was great to see him and we had a lovely evening - Jamie and Ally both joined us. We had such a laugh; Jamie is very funny and reminded me of my Dad with all his stories. My Dad would have loved to see how he has turned out.

I'm home with my kitties this weekend - James and Ally are away on a hill-walking weekend. I am amazed at how much Tom and Ruby are eating - they are just about a year old now and spend so much time outdoors, they are very hungry when they come in. As I write this they are relaxing and stretching on their wee beds, but keeping an eye on me in case I head towards the cat food cupboard!
