Patron saint of Scotland, Greece, Rumania, Russia, Ukraine, Constantinople and Barbados.
Not a lot of people know that.
Celebrated by doing traditionally Scottish things, like................
Presumably, in Russia, celebrated by doing traditionally Russian things (watch out Ukraine!), in Greece, typically Greek..........................
I've had a whole week of relaxation, with no housework, little driving and a lot of exercise, so feeling relaxed and up to the challenges of next week.
I went to Bicester last Sunday and have been a presence there for the week as E was abroad with work.
T and KP were excellent company, as usual - so well organised and thoughtful.
T does have an obsession with being more than punctual, especially for school!
KP isn't bothered at all, but can be chivvied.
We did go swimming without her kit and to school without PE kit, but all put right with a little backtracking/going home to fetch it, pronto.
T told me that I "handled it very well"
Praise indeed!
Three days of parking, walking a couple of miles, shopping and drinking coffee.
This took in the opening of the new Joules shop in Bicester Village, with gifts, mince pies and bargains and a visit to the odd charity shop.
On Thursday I went to Oxford on the S5, visited the Ashmolean for an hour, then pootled around for a couple of hours in the sunshine before bussing home in time for school pick-up.
Home fitter and a little lighter - I must get into some exercise routine, but what?
Jan's B'day dinner last night - great meal and a giggle.
A trip to Cheltenham today to deliver a top hat and give the Lotus it's final run of the season.
Used it yesterday - 10 degrees and little wind so fine with a woolly hat.
30 Xmas trees (coping with the abbreviation at last) at church waiting to be erected and positioned tomorrow - a team of good men/a good team of men (what's the difference) lined up so that I can check 40 sets of lights and position trees.
Hope the weather holds - it can be a very cold job.
