Saturday 7th April

Last day of our holidays at the Blackcraig Bridge house. Left at 9:30 and drove to Edinburgh on the way back. Parked in a weird car park and walked down time Royal Mile. Had lunch in a quaint Mediterranean cafe then walked up to the Castle.

Drove to York on the way home. Arrived at 5:45. Rachel had no idea we were coming and was jumping with excitement when she saw us. Sian came home shortly after and we ordered takeaway because Rachel wanted 'real' pizza. We put Rachel to bed and I made up some stories for her until she was almost asleep, then kisses her goodnight and set off home around 8:30pm.

Arrived home around 11pm and left the unpacking until tomorrow.

Chatted with an old friend on Facebook. Seems he has also bought Elite: Dangerous.
Helped a sweet old lady sort out council tax issue for her daughter, who was recently diagnosed with cancer.
Discovered that a woman I rarely have time for in work is actually really good at her job. She took a case off me that was a total pain in the backside and got a result I couldn't have imagined.

Another colleague left work today, sad day.

Talked about food in work today, brought back many memories of my mum and dad's cooking.

Helen returned from Reading and told me we may have a completion date for the new house - Next Tuesday!

First day back at work after my summer hols. Surprising how quickly you get into it, and how distant the time off seemed.
After months on and off the walking stick, I actually ran to catch a train (Helen in Reading with her sister). It felt very strange..
Bought a new pushchair for my amazing daughter's imminent baby. Can't wait to be a grandfather!
