I really do have great people in my life. I was going to make my way into Edinburgh on Friday to look at the computing facilities and run some other errands before the term starts, and I stopped off at Mary and Tim's office to let them I was leaving. Before I departed, Mary says, 'Here, this is for you from John and I to help you start your school year off right.' Then she handed me a little baggy of coins titled, "Bus Money for School". It must have been close to £50!!! I haven't counted it yet, but I thought it was the sweetest gesture - how generous! I do have to take the bus and will be going into the city a lot more over the next year, so it will be put to good use, but I certainly didn't expect it!
Then, my darling Tim followed me back to the flat and said he had something for me too. He handed me a mobile phone, sim card and £20 of credit so we could stay in touch - once again because I'll be in Edinburgh for at least 4 days a week for long hours. How sweet! And THEN, he handed my a gift certificate to our favourite store and told me to go 'school shopping'. I wanted to cry! So many thoughtful gestures to help celebrate this big step. I love it!
