After dropping Nick off at Leuchars train station on Sunday morning it was a short drive through to my parents to celebrate their anniversary, 43 years of togetherness! Dad & I went down to the pet shop for a look around and then I took Tom & Lily round to see Frances & Errol for a short visit. Errol wasn't there but he popped up to the house later on to see us.
After that it was time to start the anniversary celebration with a game of hide and seek in the garden for the children and a glass of champagne for the adults. Very nice.
Then we even managed to barbecue and eat outside, with a mini cabaret from Tom.

Wonderful. On Monday the plan had been to go shopping in Glasgow but I had a pain in my jaw and couldn't open my mouth very wide so I decided to phone the dentist and return to St Andrews to have it investigated. The dentist didn't find anything wrong but suggested I am grinding my teeth in my sleep and if the pain continues he will fit me with something to put in my mouth at night to stop me. I'm not so sure about this diagnosis but we shall see.

Well, it's Tuesday and I still have the pain and the lack of movement - doesn't stop me from talking though!
On getting up for breakfast I discovered this beauty in the kitchen sink.

He looked much bigger in the flesh, I managed to get him outside and felt rather pleased with myself because if Nick had been here I would have (rather pathetically) called on him to deal with it like I did on Saturday with a dirty great moth....eugh - nasty, powdery things.
