hi hb
Didnt manage very much - DD had birthday party, I had to get passports off, DS had a guitar lesson with OH - we had a couple nice walks and a pub lunch out (OH paid) kids had pals about so just the usual milling about

OH looked happier about work, although he's just announced he's applied for a PhD in Aberdeen - not sure how best to support him through his application but happy to help if htats what he wants.

Cello ringing out here, DD has an audition soon - and a grade soonish - she's got a loan of a school one at the moment - she's sounding ace

The cello is a great instrument - lovely sound Hope her audition goes well

Would OH going to Aberdeen mean he'd be closer?

HB - sort of but not sure really - he'd be based there but maybe a bit more flexible for travelling - but he'd also drop his income by 3/4 - so alot to think about as he does the bulk of the travelling as I can't afford too he'd be earnign the same as me (ie NOT much) - he also would need to sell up and I spokke to him about that - then we'd both be having to rent and thats expensive - so he needs to find out more and really think hard.

He's excited about it so I am happy for him. However I do feel like the angel of death pointing out bits like 'money' and so on - trying to be practical rather than a kill joy. It would also mean we wouldnt have somewhere to stay on the mainland when we come down if he went into halls or just rented a place big enough for him - which neither of us had thought about really. Lots to think about.

Hard balance though!
