Sadly my cryptic style led some of you to think I was going to the Rugby in person rather than the more boring truth that I went to my friends house in Fife to watch it on TV like all the other punters. Really wish I had as it was a totally outstanding cliff hanger game which scotland won for about the first time in 6 years against England (sorry Jonathon).
Great afternoon all round with a lot of reassurance from John our friendly cancer specalist during the breaks in the match, and a good chat on the way to Fife and back with Andrew about life and early retirement (he is 62 and considering it).
Unfortunatly got back to Edinburgh late for dinner, but ended up in a very nice veg Indian resturant for dinner with my friend Julie, which will become a favourite I think if I can stand the taste after Wednesday. She is a scottish oil banker and was still recovering from the Oil Barons ball the previous night so entertained me with stories of that business and news of friends. She is part of my "take me out and talk about other things" support group along with Nick and Shaun and the two Jim's (hope the last few don't mind being elected on these pages!).
I took Poppy to hocky and football this morning and watched her run up and down with hair streaming behind her in the morning light while I listened to my relaxation tapes and practiced deep breathing. It continues to amaze me how peaceful and aware of things this situation has made me, lots of silver linings on the cloud.
All together an excellent Lou Reed /van Morrison kind of day.
