First night on my own
P's away. He left this morning for England for his business trip. It was really odd around here tonight without him. I've not said much since I got home. Boys were busy playing games when I got home and I made dinner (fish and chips with peas). The boys are getting used to eating at the table again. It takes time. T has really taken to it, actually - he's very chatty at the dinner table. Its like its his only chance to open up and be "normal" cause its time that he has to be - so it can be cool. ::grin::
I think the hardest part will be going to bed tonight without him - its our first night apart since me and the boys moved here. Hope I can sleep tonight ...
Great news - at last today, one of my clients at work (that I've worked on from the very beginning) started paying deposits today!!! Its my first one! I've had a few inherited ones but this one is all mine! One of the group (there's seven) even paid in full today! Yay!!! (This means I get at least one bonus this month!)
My MIL is coming Friday (the day P is due back into town). She's taking us out to dinner Friday night and we're going to the Red Lion Inn in Culross. That's where me and my friend C had our very first meal in Scotland. It was the bestest!
I remember when it came time for dessert, we saw pecan pie on the board. I asked for it. "I'd like the pe-kahn pie."
Waiter - "Eh?"
Me - "Pe-kahn pie, please."
W - "Sorry?"
Me - (pointing at the specials board) "Pe-kahn"
W - "Ah! PEEkun pie!"
Me - sigh
It rained all day today. Not a horrible rain, just the kind that kind of floats down. But rain, all the same. I didn't get to go to my normal bench today just yards from King Robert the Bruce's grave. I went, instead, to The Abbot House (which I frequently do if its raining). Its good atmosphere and the prices are reasonable. I was having my lunch and reading a magazine and there were two couples that sat at a table across from me. They asked if lunch was good there and I told them I had lunch there frequently and it was good. They ordered lunch and after they sat down, they tried to put up a camera with a tripod to take their photo. I offered to take it for them and they handed me the camera. It was a good shot if I do say so myself. ::grin::
Sorry no photos today. Will post photos as soon as I have more to share.
