Mostly Outdoors...

Tomorrow the tree and Christmas decorations come down. Life will start to get back to "normal". I've really enjoyed the holidays and haven't done any work at all! Schools here don't go back till Thurs (we didn't break till the 22nd) so there are still a few free days to enjoy yet.

Here are some outdoor pics from over the holidays. The first is a much zoomed in sunset pic from the back door. Then there is a set of photos from a short solo bike ride. To mark the end of this, there's a photo of the cat pretending to be an ornament on the piano(!), then a series from a family walk we made round the Formakin Estate. Next there's a picture of the cushion tapestry which has consumed much of my time these holidays, and to finish, some shots of a sunset over the loch during a family bike ride. There has been very little blue sky to be seen - we've made the most of the dry weather but the skies have been mostly grey, even on the "good" days. Fortunately we've not been affected by floods which have blighted unluckier parts of the UK. I think we've all had enough rain now...




























I know it's on its side, but I like it that way...

Better Late than Never...

A few things...

The decorations are still up.
We are still eating Christmas goodies.
We've a panto trip booked.
There's not been a single sign of snow yet this winter.
We have a warm house! We now realise that the heating hasn't been working at proper capacity for several years. The exceptionally mild weather is also helping too.
We're finally going to see the new Star Wars film later today.
Over the hoidays I met up with old work colleagues last seen over 10 years ago. None of us had changed (other than all getting a little wider!), we started off as if we'd never left.
I'm thinking sorting out photos for blogging takes up too much time - I'm afraid Instagram is winning.
However, for the record here are some festive pics from around the house. I do like to look back on these now and again...

I hope anyone still reading had a lovely Christmas and I wish you all a Happy New Year! Lang may yer lum reek...
