31 January 2013

Well managed the first month, 11 to go.

Today's effort a bit of a last minute one. These are the the latest money pit, but at least they are soft so don't get embedded in your feet when there are hundreds of them lying around the house.

30 January 2013

Looks like a nice day, but the wind is blowing hard today. 

On the upside it is shifting the snow and drying out the ground, so might have half a chance of resuming winter league golf again this weekend and defending our unbeaten record this season.

29 January 2013

Team announced, Jim Telfer has got stuck in with the obligatory gamesmanship on behalf of the boys and John Beattie on BBC sports nation has done his round up.  Still 3 working days to go till the 6 Nations kicks off again but the tension is already rising.

Why oh why do we always let our hearts lead our heads. 1 victory and no wooden spoon is most likely, but we'll still tune in every week and believe that just maybe we're going to get a Historic win.

Maybe Saturdays blog picture will be the champagne cork and the calcutta cup........maybe, just maybe...................

28 January 2013

After 10 days of snow, the wind and rain came today.  I'm sure it's been colder than it was last week, but maybe just the wind getting through to the bones.  An evening for the fire to be on in any case....

Another weekend, another Birthday party and a trip into the countryside to Hoodles, 'THE' playbarn of choice for 3 year olds.  At least the snow is abating and it was quite a nice bright afternoon.

Footprints in the snow

Sticking with the snow theme as its only forecast to be another day of it falling before a bit of a thaw with rain.....cue the flooding!!

23 January 2013

Still snowing in Aberdeen. It was icy overnight and the heavens opened after rush hour and blanketed the city in another inch or 2 of thick snow within an hour.
River Dee looks pretty with flotillas of ice floating along, but I wouldn't fancy a dip in it when it's this cold though!!!!

Day 8, or is it 9?, of the snow. Just finish clearing the drive and its filled again. We obviously don't count for the news though, not a peep of a warning or coverage and we've had best part of 6inches today.
