Birthday Boy

The weather was so grim today that I couldn’t face taking the bus back up to Edinburgh for my Monthly Read course. Instead I drove up and then after my class (today’s text was The Lost Daughter by Elena Ferrante) I stopped off in Roslin to visit my friend Marianne’s daughter and her two gorgeous little children. Once I was back home, Mr P and I FaceTimed son no 3 as he turned 23 today (hard to believe). Two of the Chinese students on his course are organising a party for him and to celebrate Chinese New Year, tonight.
