Less coughing and Less leaking.

DEAR SPOOK, your accomodation in Middlemarch might be bigger than your regular accomodation? And I can see it does seem to be a 'one horse town.' That horse looks a little lonely. I'm glad the pizza and chocolate gateau was so good though.

And so was my breakfast brought to me in bed by our beautiful daughter before she went to Inverness this morning. (note the all important anti-biotic and I would like to thank the Scot, Mr Fleming for discovering penicillin all those years ago, as I am definatley picking up already.)

I think Meg may have been trying to convince me that she was well enough to go away for the day. In reality, she came home sore and very tired, but having loved the film. I think she may need the antibiotics too as she has started coughing now.

Finn stayed at Kier's last night and they all came here after rugby training for the afternoon. They were high as kites after the training and had lot's to discuss. After lunch, some down time, and some bouncing on the trampoline, then settled down to watch Horrid Henry. Connor phoned and they all went back to the club for a muck around. They managed to raise a group of 7 and stayed out in the rain until after dark. Then they made it to Griegs house where they had the 2nd shower and change of the day and settled down to watch the fantastic Scotland/Australia game. I assume they enjoyed it as even Meg got into it, having come in well past the half way mark. I hope next weeks game at Murrayfield is as exciting as that. Will our Kiwi friends have got up at 6am this morning to support us? Unfortunately, tomorrows game has been cancelled for the boys, so they are very disappointed.

I didn't mention the leak in the back lobby as I felt your father had enough to do with everyones vehicles, but when he came in the back door this morning there was no denying it. I had already explored under the sink and found no drips and had just been mopping it up regularly and thinking it would last for 4 more weeks. But the last 4 days had seen it neglected and nearing swimming pool proportions. Of course your Dad thought I was silly to have not told him and with a bit of make do and mend, had fixed the leak which was coming from the washing machine. We do feel well cared for!
