Poor Joe and Liam. This is just like a traditional July in Scotland. The kids break up for school, and the rain starts. It's chucking it down but is 16 degrees. The boys invited Finn back to the Dirt Jump Park again today and all three had a competiton on the 'pump' circuit to see who was fastest. Finn wasn't far behind them and they all did it on the tiny kids bike. Finn bumped into quite a few of his friends there, and I think he's seeing now, that they just turn up and it's ok. After tea, Finn asked Liam if he wanted to got to the skate park. It was pouring outside and I allowed Liam to give Finn the honest answer! Undeterred, Finn took the wee bike to the park himself - safe in the knowledge that no-one else would be there. He came home soaked to the knickers, but very happy. He's allowed to take it to school tomorrow. It's his last day and Meg and I are going to see him graduate.
The builders clean finished today and I'm now on an extended holiday until the 40,000 start to leave and give me a bit of cleaning up to do. I'm fine with that. I'm delighted I'll be able to spend the time with the children.
Tonight we all went out to see the Bond movie at the Cinema Paradiso. Joe and Liam had thought it might have ambience but be of poor picture/sound quality. I'd forgotten how good it was! Quality all around and the folks having their coffee orders and pizzas brought to their seats, is always going to be a surprise in any cinema. I didn't mind coming out into the darkness and the warm rain. Do hope it clears up for the boys tomorrow.
