Well done to Davie

Yesterday afternoon we got some fantastic news from Davie. He had an interview for a Research Technician post at Glasgow University Centre for Virus Research last week, and yesterday he found out that he got it! I am such a proud mama! He has been working so hard to get a research post in science even though it must have been discouraging for him because jobs have been few and far between over the last year. He did get a couple of short term lab jobs when he was in Manchester but now he has not only been offered a research job, it’s at the same fabulous centre of excellence where he did his Master’s. It’s exactly where he wants to be!

So today James and I went to Stirling to take Davie out for brunch in order to celebrate. We went to a very pleasant café (how does Stirling have so many lovely cafés?) and chatted, Davie told us about his interview and I could tell from what he said that he absolutely aced it. He is so happy. After our meal we went for a wander around the streets of Stirling and I got advent calendars for him and Chanel. We walked back to his flat via the winding path up around the city walls. Stirling is so historic and attractive.
