Thawing out nicely

It's Wednesday morning and the snow and ice have long gone, replaced by grey skies and unseasonably high temperatures. At least that means I can get out for a cycle this morning - just prior to our cycling group's Xmas lunch at the golf club.

We did our usual Inverurie trip yesterday. Gary was off work - still not fully recovered from the cold/flu he had last week - but we went ahead and picked up Luca from school anyway. Jo had arranged a picnic style tea - at Luca's request - and we ate it on the floor of their living room:

Sorry about the lack of focus.

We'd been to Costco beforehand and I spotted a balaclava style hood/mask which will do me nicely for cycling in colder weather conditions. I also picked up my new driving glasses, and I'm wearing them in this photo:

The big round mirror we recently acquired has been moved from the hall downstairs to our back/TV room - and Jo is much happier with this location. It's like a porthole through to the kitchen.

It's exactly a year to the day since I formally resigned as Director of all the Group companies. Tempus fugit.
