Birds on a Wire

Thank you Jennifer for my birthday birds. They make hanging out the laundry twice as nice.

Ladies' Day

No, not at Ascot, but at New Lanark. My friends Anita, Lisa, Jen and Sara joined me for a really nice day. After some coffee shop chat and me devouring a fat slice of cranberry-orange cream cake, we were ready to start the 4 mile walk.

Stopping to soak up the sights and sounds of the Falls of Clyde

Stopping to peer through the telescopes at...
7-week old peregrine falcons!
Another beautiful view.
And a picnic lunch. No trail mix or kendal mint cake here. Wine, brie, houmous, parsnip crisps, salsa.
Cheers!

Sports Day

Here are the classes parading onto the ground. Each class represented a country, waving flags, etc, like the opening ceremony at the Olympics.

P1a was Poland.

There's Poland's finest bean bag 50 metre relay runner and potato-on-a-spoon competitor warming up.

What you don't see a picture of is me entering the Mum's race. I came maybe 4th or 5th out of 7 brave mums. Later Ailsa said to me, "Mum, were you even trying?"

The Good Time Gang

The all-singing, all-dancing, all-baking and all-sparkling birthday bash gang, making a lovely day for Mum.

Friday the Thirteenth

Wish us luck.

Moo


Just a cute cowgirl.

Blue Peter

Inspired by Bruno's high-tech, highly realistic mini amp-bank, we got out our glue and scissors, a cardboard box and some scraps of fabric and made a kiltie bank for Neil Quinn's 40th birthday last weekend. And Bethanne wanted to see a picture of it, so here it is.

Sweet Little Rebecca

Today we went to the christening of this beautiful little girl, Rebecca Sophie. Her father works with John and I've become friends with her mum.



This was me last week.

And this was the result.

Pardon Me?

Yesterday's video got no comments so I'll try again. This one is only 9 seconds long.

Baby Friends

People. They weren't really fighting and making up in the Science Centre. I was just taking lots of pictures of Isobel and Claire and two of them just struck me as looking like that. They really are very cute baby friends (although Claire is a wee thief. She's lucky Isobel is so chilled).

Two for the Price of One

(There's another blog entry just below this one)
Today we had a great day at the Science Centre with the Foxes, and then a nice evening sitting on the back steps in the sunshine before a yummy supper and the children telling their best jokes.
