Meg set off to school looking extremly confident.....gulp.
Finn discussed all the bullying possiblities, esp regarding his inappropriate garb. Asked what would happen if he had a bad day and didn't want to go back to school tomorrow...gulp.
Into classroom where he met his teacher - Susan, who was wearing JEANS. Children wear wearing a whole variety of outfits. Left Finn looking a lot more relaxed, but still collected shorts and polo shirt from shop.
Then I set off to the Job Angency where I filled in a form and had a wee chat about what I might do. I felt like a teenager with wrinkles. 17 years without having needed a job interview, and now I'm back to where I was when I was 17. The girl who took my details had a gorgeous cleavage and smooth face (about 25?,) and was pretty disinterested in me.
On the way home I chatted with another neighbour who has an amazing garden. She must be about 40 years older than me and owns a nursery out of town. I asked if there was any work I could do, as a nursery was exactly where I had decided at home that I'd like to work, so that I could tell Spook what to plant, and how to plant it, on our return to Scotland. She suggested I come along to the 'How to grow Potatoes' talk next week, and in a couple of weeks, she reckoned there would be some 'pricking out' work. Felt much better.
Came home and washed the bathroom and the floor and cooked the tea. Muffin making will have to wait until I can afford the muffin tins.
About 1 hour and 10 minutes until Finn comes home. 1 hour and 30 mins until Meg comes home.
Sigh.
