Friday 27th November: Today started chilly and was still cool (about 12 degrees) at lunchtime. Then suddenly in the afternoon the temperature soared to 26 degrees in a very short time and we were out and about in totally the wrong clothes!
Schooling went well. The boys drew treasure maps, and we finished off learning about Moses. We had an early lunch then went into town for Edward's Preliminary piano exam at 1pm. He came out quite content with how he done. To celebrate his effort we went to the Rainbow Dairy for a drink and cake, and popped in and collected Jeanette on the way to join us. From there we bought some scraps of material to make shepherd costumes, went to the Post Shop and bank, the library and supermarket.
When we arrived home at 3.45pm Mum and Dad had returned from their latest adventure. The boys played outside while Mum and Dad unpacked and I cooked the dinner. Tonight was baked trout from Lake Aviemore with rice and salad, followed by rum'n'raisin chocolate pudding.
Edward's piano teacher Ruth rang to say he had scored 93 out of 100, which she was over the moon with, and so were we.
After the boys had gone to bed Steve did some more work cutting the big tree trunk in the front garden with the chainsaw, and called us out to see a very colourful sunset.
