Margo MacDonald Pie and chips will never be the same after Cousin. Thanks for my birthday card...you got the age wrong. 58 is the new 70. Love the full-length frock: it's not a Sengalese wedding dress, is it? Heard about the proposal..stick out for 2nd wife, at least.

Margo MacDonald Are there no Tunnock's T-cakes?
Anne Thomson Ah, but, has this friend of yours ever knowingly eaten horse? Some folks in these parts who shop for Findus have been eating it for years - no kidding- it's part of a big stoochie in our media at present catch it if you can. LOL Anne & Jon.
Lena Thanks Grandpa! I hope you're both enjoying Portugal and I'm excited to see you when we're all back in Scotland! XX
re: Summer!
Jim Sillars Happy Birthday Lena from Grandpa and Grandma here in Portugal. We are hoping John will joing us for a week. We continue to miss you, but are so pleased that you are enjoying life in Senegal, and learning so much. We sent you a birthday card, and hope you got it.
re: Summer!
Margo MacDonald Looking forward to seeing you,,,just don´t give Grandpa guru your recipes for boiled rats, monkeys and other four legged creatures not talked about in polite circles. You´re starting Law at a fascinating time...and Glasgow is jumping because of the Commonwealth Games. Grandma

Jim Sillars Glad to see you are enjoying things more and more. I am sure people there sill miss you when you come back here, but don't forget that we back here miss you very much. I am taking Grandma off the Villa Maria on Thursday for 8 weeks. So, we shall have to wait for some time after you come home to hear all about your adventures, and teaching successes. I see Barak Obama was in Senegal last week. Said very nice things about the country. Lots love X

re: Desk officer visit and a senegalese ceilidh...
Margo MacDonald There's a scare story at home just now, horsemeat in ready meals being discovered in several named brands of burgers etc. Somehow it doesn't seem all that bad when measured against Spagetti Ratto.
