Bob has had a really late night eating pizza, cavorting and playing touch rugby. This morning he's having a lie in. At some point during the night his sister has headed downstairs to sleep on the cold floor tiles by the front door. Her brothers snoring might also have had something to do with her decision to move.
Seems there has been a C-A-T in the garden. Our morning walk is delayed while the PONs check to make sure everything is safe. They accompany their high speed security check with basso profondo barks ( Bob ) and high pitched yelps ( Sophie ).
The jet lagged Texan tenants have been given the keys and a tour of the house. Little Hank and Melody will be enrolled at the local primary school. They seem happy.
In Scotland Graduation ceremonies, morning and afternoon, disrupt the traffic flows. This goes on all week. Processions of academics intermingle with Russian language tours and block the road outside the sma' house. Parking is a nightmare. The restaurants full of proud parents and their offspring. 'The Font' hears one young lady say to her mother ( when her new boyfriend tires of polite conversation and wanders off to watch England play Belgium on the television in the bar ) ' Oh Mummy you don't know him - he's really very sensitive and loves literature '. A line that's eternal in its optimism.
No doubting you're in Scotland. Even though it's a lowland town kilts much in evidence after a morning ceremony

A question for your American readers perhaps. Is Hank still a popular name over there?

Potential for a certain 'literture' lies on sich overheard lines! YAM xx
Seems to be big in Texas. Or the parts of Texas far away from Austin.
As a former Texan, Yes..as a current Californian not so much.
A new boyfriend that loves literature makes me wonder what kind of "lines" he's been giving her?
Great people watching video with so many smiles. I only counted three pairs of sunglasses being worn among all those people on an obviously bright day. They are undoubtedly not necessary on most Scottish summer days.
Hank's a nickname for Henry, which I believe is increasing in popularity as a boy's name. Lucky tenants to be personally welcomed by their landlady. It must all be very exciting for them.
The formal name of Henry seems to be making a little comeback, but I'm not hearing its nickname "Hank" being used much - At least not in my corner of the mid-atlantic.
Good on you Bob - I would need a lie in as well.
After reading the title of your post this morning, I thought it was referring to Bob!
Bob has been known to digest a good book !
I also thought it meant Bob. Surely he manages to work in a good book in the midst of the pizzas, cavorting, and touch rugby. And we all know what a sensitive soul Bob is. As always, it's a joy to catch up with Bob and Sophie. Stephanie in Northern California where the sun shines brightly
