A peek at Claire's pad
What an uplifting 20 minutes on line I had today.
Granddaughter Claire was announced logging on to Skype this morning and I quickly rang her chimes. She has a half day off from her job at Edinburgh Zoo and as we both had cameras operational, she showed me her sparsely furnished room with ensuite bathroom. Then she carried her laptop down the hall to show me the shared kitchen which is really quite large and fully equipped. One of her flatmates, a newly graduated student from Arkansas, was lounging there. The other flatmate is an artist.
Outside her window the view includes a stretch of parkland and a stately church. There are movie and live theatres close by and most other amenities as befitting a big city.
The last couple of weekends she has been away with friends to the north on hawking trips. This is a pastime she likes - she said she has gone shopping once since being in Edinburgh and only then for necessities. Not the usual 25 year old young woman.
As I am off on Saturday to Vancouver to visit relatives she sent her love and best wishes to those she stayed with while on the coast. Can't really keep up with where this travelling granddaughter has been but it warms my heart to know she has time for Bubba wherever she lands.
We now have a land line telephone number for her but this call was much cheaper!!!!
