I've just waved HD off to drive himself back down south after a lovely lazy weekend in Glasgow. Yesterday we were dirty stop-ins ;) and didn't get up till 2.30pm! I haven't done that for years and years and years! I felt a bit bad that having driven all this way just for a couple of days all we did yesterday when we did eventually get up was go to the tip and then the supermarket, and watch a DVD ("Walk the Line", very good, we liked it) in the evening, but HD said he really enjoyed just being home and relaxing. I know I moan a lot about all the travelling and commuting, but at least I get to come home pretty regularly. He's been able to come much more sporadically, but I was reminded this weekend how, although it's not necessarily the most comfortable or luxurious or gorgeous flat in the world, it is somewhere where we can relax and just *be*, and that's really important.
Today after church we went to lunch at the home of another couple from church. It is kind of ironic, in a church with an average age of about 85, that one of the only other couples our age there are a guy who's a geeky beardy maths type, and his wife has degrees in Russian and Czech and started (although didn't complete) a PhD in something to do with central/eastern Europe. So not like us at all then!!!! She also happens to be an amazing cook, and we didn't take much persuading to take a couple of huge slabs of her ginger cake home (well it would have been rude not to. I do hate being rude).
