Mini Update on the lives of the Skirvings

Hi
we haven't been up to much over the last month or so. Busy trying not to spend money as August is trning into an expensive month. Some news from us:

Keryn finally has a new job! I am starting at Christian Aid on Monday 6th August as a PA to the Head of Christian Aid Scotland. It is very exciting and I am really looking forward to it. It's been a long time coming!
Simon is really enjoying his job at 3 in the Executive Office and has been doing extraordinary amounts of cycling recently.
We are headed off to Ireland next weekend for Janeya and Jim's wedding which we are really looking forward to. Then a week after that we fly out to Tuscany with 7 of our friends to stay in the lovely villa with a pool in the Tuscan countryside. I am hanging out for some sun!

What have we been up to? We went out to Troon a few weeks ago for an afternoon at the beach, alas that typical Scottish weather meant it rained so we had to eat our fish 'n' chips in the car! Had a lovely view over to Arran though on our drive home.









Our friend Dave Millar has bought a cockerspaniel puppy, Mac, he is very cute so we went round for a BBQ one Saturday afternoon and got to meet him.







Last weekend we went down to visit Tom and Barbara for the weekend. It was nice to get out of the city for the weekend and we took the bikes and went for a very long bike ride through a forest, made longer by the fact that I got lost. Not to worry though I got found again so all was well.

So just looking forward to Ireland and Tuscany now and starting my new job.
