First trophy of the golfing season. Hopefully the pre-curser to a good scoring and handicap cutting summer to come.

29 March 2013

After 4 holes in the snow at Hazlehead, I gave up and headed to kings links this morning. Was like a different country all together.

Beautiful sunshine, albeit not the warmest.

28 March 2013

Holiday beer calorie tokens banked. 17km and 1600 calories burned.

27 March 2013

Snow back in force this morning resulted in walking kids to school and nursery.
The deer family spotted in the trees but sense of smell too good to let anyone get close, can you spot 2 deer in this one.

26 March 2013

Someone forgot to switch the seasons over to spring last week. Snow and freezing temperatures again today and only 4 days until the clocks go forward again. About time the sun was out if hibernation.

25 March 2013

Our "table of pieces". From where they come, nobody knows, but once they've been stood on or found under the sofa it's the table of pieces fate.

If they last the week they may even find themselves in one if the many Tupperware boxes of pieces stored forever in the cupboard!!!

24 March 2013

Matthew's latest library book. I'm sure he is a member of the 'secret club'

23 March 2013

A bit choppy on the coast today. A day that couldn't make up its mind what to do.

Hail showers, gale force winds and freezing temperatures.

So much for the start of spring!

22 March 2013

2 carpet fitters, 2 joiners and 2 furniture builders later and we have a recognisable bedroom again.

Just the piles of clothes stored around the house to fit into it now. Hope we have enough storage space or it will be bags of ruthless charity shop bags over the weekend.

Boss talking about the next room already!!!

21 March 2013

Bed on the floor tonight. Home stretch of the bedroom project. New carpet and furniture tomorrow then a weekend of sorting clothes and its done.
No doubt then to be onto the next room with a week or 2!!

20 March 2013

Might be the first day of spring, but its the first colds of the year for the boys. Vics and tissues all round.

19 March 2013

Midweek visitor = takeaway dinner... Fine

18 Match 2013

Forgot we had this lurking at the back of the cupboard. Not an original unfortunately because it's just not as frothy as memory recalls.

17 March 2013

Sunday afternoon crafts. Who needs expensive toys!!!

16 March 2013

Saturday morning frothy coffee.

15 March 2013

Post meal drink by the fire. Very fine.

14 March 2013

Staged or real life? Its better than some written comedy on the box anyway!

13 March 2013

Another day of on and off snowfall makes it about 3inches lying in the garden. Would have been more if it hasn't been sunny as well And the boys hadnt been playing in it.

No doubt be on all night or be back on with vengeance just in time for the school run and another 1 hour, 2 mile torture.

12 March 2013

Winter has returned but looking a bit too wintery for the final of the winter 4s golf.
Plus side is that we will still be champions if no game played in the next 2 weeks. A season undefeated!

11 March 2013

Bedroom decorating moving on very slowly. New lights up today though. Some interesting light shadows on the ceiling and walls.

10 March 2013

Mothers and grandmothers day. Grandmas dinner beats restaurant every day!

09 March 2013

First step on route to the Ballon d'Or?
We live in hope!!!

Well done Matthew

08 March 2013

New Hoover for the hard floors works too well! Would be affronted to post a picture of the mitts it wears!!!

07 March 2013

Still painting.... One coat not up to the bosses standards so another coat to go on before wallpaper gets a bash.

06 March 2013

Bit more time today and got the proper camera out to try something artistic that I have been meaning to try for a while. Don't have quite the marco lens (or skills) to pull it off completely.  Must try harder to keep the DSLR with me and use it more than the phone for the daily photo.

Does make you wonder when discs will become obsolete though, with new larger flash USB drives, solid state drives, cloud computing, tablets with no external discs etc....

05 March 2013

The tools of decorating. A quick freshen up turns into a major programme of refurbishment. Painting almost done, papering, carpet, lights and furniture still to do.

Will we get 5 minutes rest before the next room starts.......???????

04 March 2013

The modern day Tetris! So simple, yet so popular. Amazing how people get competitive with it!

03 march 2013

Today's DIY project complete. New poly tunnel/ greenhouse at the allotment.
Plotters will be getting allotment envy!!

02 March 2013

A little spring shower brought out not one but two rainbows for a few minutes today.

1 march 2013

Champagne on ice to celebrate a wee lottery win this week. Few more zeros would have been nice (a lot more even nicer), but not a bad return from £1 ticket.

Any excuse really!!
