My Ultra Hubby

We have had another extremely busy week but good and fulfilling as well.  We are certainly enjoying the good weather and long may it continue.  Next week we are away camping and it would be great to have good weather for that.

I had the first two days of the week off work and we managed to get lots done.  It was great to be at home with everyone as well.  

I really like the photo above.  They are great pals.

19yos left on Thursday to work in an international summer school in North Yorkshire for three weeks.  He will be helping with all sorts of things, as well as using his lifeguard certificate to keep the children safe in the swimming pool

On Friday evening we were at a 21st birthday party of a friend here in Newton Stewart.  It was a ceilidh and we had a great time.  I LOVE ceilidhs.  It was great to see our friend in her wheelchair managing all the twists and turns.  We all had a great time even though we had to leave a little early as we were heading off at 0600 the next day.

The next morning Rick and I and the the youngest children set off for Glasgow.  Rick was running a 40 mile race and I and the 3 children were helping 22yos to move from Glasgow to his new flat in Edinburgh.  We dropped Rick off at his race start and then headed over to the student accommodation to move 22yos out.  It didn't take us long as he had already packed up.  Here he is outside the building.

When we are near a city we always have to cram some shopping in as I don't like shopping and would never travel up there just to shop.  So we did our essential shop and then went to the Riverside Museum for 7yos to see the transport part of it.  We only had about 45 minutes there unfortunately before we had to set off for Edinburgh.

We then took 22yos to his new place in Edinburgh, sorted out the paperwork with the landlord, which seemed to take ages, off loaded the van and then headed out to pick up Rick from the end of his ultra marathon.  He had run an incredible race - came 4th out of about 120, and in a brilliant time which I think even he was pleased with.  It had been a scorching hot day and he had been running into the sun the whole time so it wasn't the easiest ultra he has run.  He is amazing.

So it was a very busy day with lots of us doing lots of things.  We went to McDonalds for tea which is a rare event for us, and got home really quite late.
Thankfully, on Sunday, we had been invited out for lunch to friends and to take advantage of the lovely summer we are having it was laid out on the lawn.  I so much appreciate and enjoy going out to friends for a meal as it means I don't have to cook!  Lovely time.

The joys of summer.  Another busy week ahead but it keeps me out of mischeif!!
