Today:
- very thankful for the miracle of modern engineering that meant our A380 Airbus didn’t fall to pieces over the alps yesterday in a stonking NW wind yesterday
- we have been fully forgiven by Rabbit, our cat (in part due to the gift of a tartan mouse)
- we were able to get into the garden to start the tidy-up as it was lovely weather
Today:
- we enjoyed our last early morning walk around Kelvingrove Park
- I received some great feedback about the draft report I sent my Special Olympics participants
- I am truly thankful that we have had this experience together
