time flies!
Looked at my blog earlier, to show someone else, and I realised it's over 2 weeks since I last blogged, and it doesn't even seem like 2 days!
What's happened in 2 weeks? Nothing overly exciting I don't think!
To answer Louise's question about how our mums are feeling now about the imminent move, not sure about Andrew's mum- I guess she's probably ok with it, but bizzarely enough it's my mum that seems to be having the problems! I think she's fallen out with our DC for sending us to Wick. Lucy said she must have fallen out with God as well!
Sunday meetings went ok. One of those days where everything that could possibly go wrong does, or so it seems!
Andrew was away at youth councils,
Pauline (who I'd asked to look after Ceitidh cos Lucy was at youth councils as well) fell over as she was coming out to the meeting, and didn't make either of the meetings,
Pete (CSM) had to go home and see if she was ok,
Ceitidh cried for most of the morning meeting and all the way through the announcements in the evening meeting
Quite a lot of people were away, including a few who are always really supportive,
But, hey, apart from that it went well!
Anyway, that's a sort-of a catch-up!

Some more distances
....Nearest...
Frankie & Benny's is 212 miles (Aberdeen)
Chiquitos is 210 miles (Aberdeen)
Dominos Pizza is 105 miles (Inverness)
Brewers Fayre is 106 miles (Inverness)
Nandos is 270 miles (Glasgow)
Yeah so I like my food, and I'm getting the feeling living in Wick isn't necessarily going to have the increased living costs I was expecting!

And you will be my witnesses...the ends of the earth !!
Well, Wick, to be precise! I'm assuming everyone (anyone?) who reads this reads Andrew's blog and there's no-one been waiting since Thursday to find out where we're going. Not really sure what I think about our appointment yet- will let you know!
But, here's some statistics I've researched for you (well, for me, but I thought I'd share them!)
From Wick, the nearest
IKEA is 265 miles (Edinburgh)
ASDA is 145 miles (Elgin)
M&S is 105 miles (Inverness)
WESLEY OWEN is 105 miles (Inverness)
And if one more person says to me 'Andrew will be happy to be going home, I think I'll get very cross'- people just don't understand Scottish geography- it's 300 miles from Wick to Irvine and multimap says it takes 6 hours 6 minutes), compared to 381 miles at the moment (6 hours 17 minutes)!!!
So, in 6 months time a new chapter of the Clark adventure will begin!
