sometimes you wonder how long things take

Like everyone in the house feeling 100% well again which seems to taken forever - it has been a really strange 6 weeks with tummy bugs and colds and general fatigue - if this is what Brexit has in store let's cancel it now. ;o) Anyway - we don't dwell on the serious stuff on the blog - this is all the positive news and positive news only.

First of all the building work - the render is now finished and we have a nice smooth white building that is a wee bit different to what we started with.

the black bit is just the builders sign covered up

The proper building work should get started next week hopefully when the scaffolding goes and the diggers arrive.

Even though we don't feel so well we went out on a sunny cold day and did some climbing.

And when we got home we had a wee friend around for dinner at the wee table - it was a tapas style arrangement  - just help yourselves.

Dad got ripped off again by the Tesco Thomas the Tank Engine - 3 rides for a £ it says - you get a minute of the theme tune and a wee shoogle and then nothing. If I ever find that Fat Controller he will get an earful let me tell you.

We then went for a play in the toon centre - Sophie offered Lauchlan a wee pillion position on her bike.

We played a wee game of Pictionary - anyone able to guess what this is?

It's a caravan being pulled by a car of course!

 And that's it for this week - Daddy has an assignment due for University and a ton of work to do - and we are almost at Christmas - heavens alive! Busy times indeed.
