Hello again. It's Monday and I'm at home - alone. I was at a seminar at lunchtime in the city centre and just came home afterwards. No Jo, no Ross - empty house. Never mind, I'm heading off to squash soon.
Jo's latest handiwork was lying on the carpet in the back room. Was she showing off?:
Is anyone else watching Borgen? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borgen_(Danish_TV_series) Scandinavian political intrigue - with subtitles. Sounds great doesn't it? Well, I'm enjoying it anyway. Next episodes Saturday night - when we'll be away. Sky + and Catch-up always come to the rescue.
We're also catching up with Homeland Series 1 - on DVD - having missed it first time around - that's pretty good too.
We're having lunch with Dawn and Barry on Saturday at the Inn on the Tay:
Don't think we'll be sitting out on the decking this week, however!
Jo and I are going to the theatre in nearby Pitlochry at night. Wonder if we'll be able to drive down Deeside and over the hills? If it carries on thawing we should be fine.
Some of you may have noticed last week's press about problems with the North Sea Mackerel fisheries. It's the staple product of our business - 100% of the output of one of our 3 factories and a significant share of the other two, and responsible for probably 300 or more jobs. Complicated subject but the Times tried to summarise it on Saturday:
(Click on to enlarge).
Ironic - plenty mackerel available but it seems the various European countries are hell-bent on destroying the most valuable resource left in the North Sea because they can't agree what's the fairest way to share it all out. Anyway, don't let that stop you continuing to eat it - it's good for you and it's plentiful - for now anyway.
That's all for now, folks.
