Feeling the strain
05 June 2005 @ 22:38 in Life
Am really quite tired. Up to Scotland on the train on
Monday to sort out wedding things. Jenny's grandad
died on Tuesday morning, and so sorted out with work
to take the rest of the week off. She was awful upset
and I really wanted to be with her. Besides, he's
been very good to us as a couple and I was very fond
of him. Was asked to take a chord at his funeral on
Friday which was very humbling. Lovely service; the
McRobbie family plot is in New Aberdour, 40 miles or
so north of Aberdeen. Day was beautiful; graveyard
overlooked a field of bright yellow oilseed rape to
the sea. I drove up to Aberdeen from Selkirk,
stopping to pick up her brother from Edinburgh –
Jenny's dad had left his car – which was much more
tiring than I expected. We obviously missed our train
back to London which was to have been on Wednesday,
so Jenny bought us plane tickets from Aberdeen to
Heathrow. Cost a fortune, but journey of an hour and
a half as opposed to eight hours. We've both been at
Dennis all weekend doing the work that I missed
during the week. Am just home. Mostly finished. Had
intended to do some more tonight but am too tired and
have to continually correct what I write. Besides,
hands sore. Go and have a look at the adorable
pictures of Jenny's mum's cat Bonnie in my Flickr
photostream.
