Well, things are definitely calming down around here after the year end rush yesterday. i'm supposed to be doing my firm's year end too but it can wait until all the invoices are in, so that i can maximise the profits. Had a good time last night. Rannoch came round and had tea and then the boys went back to his to watch the football. Me and the girls washed hair and watched a filum, "Stand by Me". it's an old film, sure, but with the teenager spending nearly every waking moment with her friends, it's a good one for her. Rope is leaving next Tuesday the 8th. Don't know how i feel, well I do, actually - in my head I think it's the best move he could make, in my heart I know I'm going to miss him terribly. there, it's said.
