We have a visitor from Fort William, here on a working trip. It is unusual for Spook and I to get the 'Friday' feeling, as years of shift work and 'on call' have seriously interfered with that lovely concept. So tonight we enjoyed a relaxed meal and a glass or two of wine and thoroughly enjoyed Dan's company.
Finn went to football practice with Spook, insisting all the way that he was only going to watch. Spook said that the minute he arrived, boys were calling his name and eventually he gave in and played. Spook left him to it and to walk home himself. A very contented boy turned up at 8.30pm having waded in the loch on the way back to cool down. So hopefully this will be part of his own Friday feeling.
I had a wee dram down the road to celebrate my first night out in Wanaka and then left Spook and Dan to check out the finer aspects of a night out in this town.
Of course, Meg is on a sleep-over. Hannah's mother turned up (she hosted last weeks sleep-over) with 3 girls in the car and whisked Meg away. They were going water-skiing with Mikhaela's dad. I think we will feel a bit more settled this weekend. There is a lot to be done.
There's the perfect woman competition. I will need a wee keek at that. And there's the opening of the dirt-jump park. Big celebration. And the Aspsiring Runners meet at 2pm. Now, I'm trying to persuade Spook to attend that on my behalf so he can check out the girl runners - in a non-predatory way. More of a 'would Mo keep up' kind of way. But I wonder if he might not keep up with them himself. I did just leave him in The Bullock Bar, home of the perfect woman competition, where the girls look quite.....tough. I so hope they wont use him for a warm up.
