Crabbit but hopeful cataloguer, formerly owned by Buzz the westie. Trying to read more and to be more patient generally.
A full on parenting day with me suppressing the desire to smack a man at the underground in Glasgow en route to see Wicked: for good. Dirty martinis the only way with Strictly too. @williamkilbride.bsky.social is a top mixologist...

As the shelling/fireworks continue, I am reminded again of how much of a dude Buzz was about fireworks. I think in part he was just excellent but also in part because when he was 1, & from the on, we used to walk his wee legs off to the point he was blissfully happy.

I miss those days

Oh deer....

Our Scottish deer say hi but in a grumpy way. 😆

Prosecco and Nosecco with the Peedies, watching some Strictly

We saw deer today. I loved them

Gin and tonic here provided by the exemplary Dr K. It's Saturday number 3 for me and my knackered leg. Much improved but I'm not that useful so loving the attention while keeping my leg up!

If you see this, post a vampire.

First tinto de verano of the year, enjoyed in the evening sunshine. Scotland can be gorgeous.

W was in Nashville last week and thought the weather was fairly wild! We're having lovely weather here just now. Perfect sitting out weather after work.

Yes this marketing bodes well for the film. I suppose Chris Nolan doesn't have a say over promotional materials even now! 🤦‍♀️

Really very much enjoyed this. Highly recommended.

Children despatched and W on a day out of the house for the day, I can have breakfast in peace and start this Christmas present.

Late addition to #confinedcocktails but still worthy: dirty martinis with jalapeño stuffed olives, with a side order of US Traitors

This is a cracking read: I laughed, I gasped, I cried. I want to read it again.

Decided to make more new recipes, at least one a month. January's entry: cajun spiced prawns with orzo. 8/10, will make again

That joyful 25 minutes on wfh days between the last of the weans heading out to school and starting work. I'm giving this a read...

This just finished, again. Such a wonderful and strange book, and a complete pleasure to spend time with Will Stanton again. #books2025

I am in for the year. The dirty martini olive dip is ready. I may just eat this and let the rest of the house fend for themselves.

It's red wine which I am hoping will cure my head cold (it's medicinal, right?) after a very teenager mood dominated day. Excellent home made pizzas courtesy of Prof K for dinner.

At last.
