Felt fine today, and back to the appartments.
Meg had her last day of school today. Lots of tears as Kate and Ebony, whom she walks to school with most days, are leaving to go elsewhere. In order to celebrate/commiserate this sad situation, Meg has gone on a sleep-over. She needed a lift to this one and Finn needed a lift to football. All walking and cycling is now cancelled, it would seem, as we have a car.
Good news on the excercise front is that Spook will do his 1st Triathlon and I'm doing a duathlon tomorrow. No training has been done other than a walk to town for a Friday glass of wine and to meet Finn after football. Meg invited Finn to be part of her team in a Triathlon in Queenstown on Sunday. Vicky is swimming, Meg is cycling and they needed a runner. Finn reluctantly agreed and now discovers that his mates have a team in and he is horrified to think they'll give him a showing up. Finn will just have to run faster and prove otherwise. Spook and I should be able to go down and support them.
Hair cut - fairly short.
Tomatoes home and have nine lovely plants potted up and lined up outside the house. Also some runner beans and some basil mint - whatever that is. Things grow so well here, so will I get some tomatoes, I wonder. Just a few flowers at this stage.
Finn busy on his Christmas project. He has to do a presentation on a Scottish Christmas. So far, it would seem that we have Christmas in a castle and eat Haggis. He is to take in traditional food and asked me to make a haggis. Thankfully I found a tin of shortbread in Queenstown with a picture of Urquhart Castle and a box with Kilchurn Castle. That will save me gutting a sheep.
