MAMA......................

DEAR SPOOK, well, that lovely dry spell didn't last long. It rained all day today. Literally. It was lovely to come home to a cosy house and Meg looking much better. We had the favorite cheesy pasta with peas in front of Friends and caught up on each others day. It was heartening as we all seemed to be nearly well. Finn got ready for rugby and was completely undeterred by the unrelenting rain. Who could be enthusiastic about going out at 7pm on a dark winters night to slide around in the mud and freeze your butt off? Finn. We dropped him and Grieg off and went to help Frazer out for a couple of hours for his meeting. 2 minutes later Frazer returned with all the rugby players as even Scots don't seem to want to play in water and mud that is up to your knees. Well, the coaches didn't. Finn did.
I was sorry I couldn't chat on the phone for so long this morning as I was planning to get some painkillers into Meg and pack her off to school as soon as. Too late and a tearful Meg was not up for it. But just in the nick of time she has picked up as I am on a sleepover tomorrow night and need them to stay at The Camerons. She will probably not be up for PE yet, so I'll give her a note. I am feeling 70% better, but know I am not there yet because Drew keeps asking me to sing Liza Zavaroni's MAMA!!!!! HE'S MAKING EYES AT ME! at the top of my voice, as I did walking down the street a few weeks ago. I don't have the lungs for it yet, but when I do..........
