Own up, who just turned the lights out?
Thunder, lightning and hailstone here

I blame martint235, Yesterday at 20:18 for knocking Gods County.

Suns out now, somebody pass me my sunglasses

He has always been like that. You should see him at the office party. Life and soul so to speak

He's on wrong side O'Pennines!

I have just looked up Insch on the map, and in Bing images. I have visited that part of Scotland, a long time ago. The names Glenlivet and Tomintoul ring a Bell.

Also is there a Heritage railway at Banchory? Elgin was lovely as well.

Instead of putting the fragile items safely in a box, there is now a cat in the afore-mentionned box. Fortunately I am not short of cardboard boxes, there is always some use for them. Or the damaged, dirty ones go in the compost heap.

Yes there is a heritage railway setup near banchory still somewhat in its infancy I believe. Most of the line from Aberdeen to Ballater is walk/cycle path now and very popular. Tomintoul used to be my lunch stop on a sunday run a long long time ago. Don't remember an owl passing itself off as human though, must have missed your visit

I seem to recall visiting some distilleries with a group of railway enthusiasts. Strangely most of the group did not like to taste the end-product from the distilleries. Therefore, as it would have been rude to waste the opportunities for tasting the alcoholic refreshment, some of us had to bravely drink two lots of the samples offered.

Don't apologise. I counted the "left over" but new cards last December, and put a note in my diary for 1st December this year. Otherwise I see lovely cards in December and end up with too many. I buy my cards from the Acorns charity shop as they seem to have the lully* ones.

Some people get a Ecard from me, should I apologise for that?

I have bought one Christmas pressie already, a subscription to Radio Times for my Mother which will be sent in the post to her each week. She listens to the radio a lot, and likes to have the details of the programmes. There was a special offer of nine issues for ninety pence, to celebrate ninety years of the Radio Times, the subscription follows on from that, renewable every six months.

I refuse point blank to do my shopping for presents when the shops are packed with peeps nearer Christmas. Not that I buy many presents, and most of them are boxes of chocs, or wine or whiskey. Tasha and Bob will, of course be buying me some pressies.

* a word picked up from @Puddles

We bought 10 cards from the RNLI in Aldeburgh last month as we like to give them money, we buy a big card for my folks and a big card for TVC's eldest brother and his wife, for everyone else we buy mixed boxes of charity cards from M&S. Last year they did some lovely 3d cards, something a bit different.

Afternoons!!
I am in need of a brew. I have spent most of the day erecting most of a shed.
It still needs the roof, but I'm leaving that till tomorrow.
With that and Movember, I'm suddenly feeling rather manly
