DEAR SPOOK, here's the plan. As you will have been living in a shed/sleepout for 10 weeks prior to your return to Lochaber, I think you should have a phased return. You can start in your cute wee cabin that you built, with the nice steps up to it, and after a period of adjustment you can move into your house.
Your daughter has headed off to Kingussie to catch the overnight train to London. They missed out on the good deal from Fort William, but managed to get £50 return from Kingussie. They have tickets for Billy Elliot in their pocket and an appointment at the London Dungeons. Catching up with Mel and Richard will be the chocolate icing. She will be home on Thursday morning.
Finn and I got a Daniel Craig movie out, based on a story of Polish Jews who hid in the forest for years. Ultimately, he managed to save 1200 Jews (well, not exactly Daniel, but Tuvia Bielski). It was not a fast moving movie, but Finn was able to soak up the story, having so much background from his work in Johanna's class. The fire was cosy and we had some gob-stoppers, so it was a good night in (my jaw does ache a bit, but it was good for the bonding thing). The choice of movie came about from the handsome attraction for me in Daniel Craig, and the pictures of guns on the front cover for Finn. It was nice that it did have more meaning to both of us considering such superficial requirements.
I fixed the PC. I took some advice from the local shop and bought a keyboard with a USB connecter and heyho away we go. (£7.99) Well, a wee bit of cursing and Shirley came in just in time to stop me tossing the keyboard out the window, but with some perseverence, it all came good in the end. It is a voyage of discovery, all this poblem solving instead of just waiting until you come home.........you can still come home though.
