Monday night

Here I sit - it's Monday night and I've still not progressed my action list much - although we have sent off all our local Xmas cards - I took them down to the West church on Saturday for them to distribute. Jo has done her longer distance ones, but I hadn't started, so Jo offered to write them out for me - all I have to do now is address them and personalise a few.

I'm halfway through preparing the stats for our cycling dinner on Thursday, preparing the videos for our Headbang on Friday night and putting the shows together for our next few recordings for River Dee Radio. Got a lot of CAMRA work to catch up on too.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) I'm taking my bike over to Inverurie - Luca has asked to cycle home from school and to and from his running club with me. That'll be the 3rd day in a row on my bike - although it's hardly going to be an onerous ride.

We had a really nice time with the Grays and Grigors at Gleneagles last Wednesday/Thursday. A game of golf, a cycle and 2 visits to the lovely spa plus a boozy in-house dinner - what's not to like? Here are the girls in the main bar in the hotel enjoying an aperitif:

We met up with Barry and Dawn for afternoon tea at the Wood House, Kippen - that's Kippen, not Killin, as I initially wrongly input to my Sat Nav:

I thought I'd set this up in the same order as the one taken 60 years ago - but I was wrong:

There have been some lovely sunrises and sunsets recently - although I haven't properly captured any of them yet. The view from our bedroom window is a little restricted:
