So here it is, in all it's fruit salad glory!! The acid yellow wall was meant to be a bit more chartreuse, and we only bought the apple green couch after painting it. It was the only sofa bed that would fit in the room! So it's quite colourful but what the hell.
And here is the lonely corner where the computer used to be. It needs a load of something, but I haven't found it yet. We'll take our time considering the austerity cuts are coming soon and we both may be out of jobs!!
Also, besides concerns about the future of the economy, we still have to visit friends!! So last weekend we braced ourselves for the cold chill of eastern Scotland and headed to Aberdeen! This isn't Sharon's new house, just Dunottar Castle, for all you Mel Gibson fans. We met the female of the Reid species on the way here for a brisk 2 minute walk (again, cold chill) and a lovely picnic.
Lots of chillin', walkin', playin' to be had. I also got to read some old letters I wrote to Sharon about 20 years ago. Why didn't someone have me psychoanalysed at the time? Thank god I have become so much more balanced. It's very strange to look back at yourself when you are younger, but I certainly had a way with words....most of them to do with bodily functions.

And, as with all of her older sisters, it is taking Laura some time to warm up to me. But I have Claire on my side and that is a pretty good feeling!!

What a nice looking bunch of girls! A little weird for me to see little Sharon and little Jennifer sitting on the couch together. That's about the age I knew you girls at! Wish I could add my little Dana to the mix...one day...
next summer perhaps...?
Claire is still talking about it. Just this morning she said, "Jennifer and Mae came to our house. And she's Dad."
