And it snowed and it snowed and it snowed

everything is white and some people will have fun getting to work in the morning....

A good thing that I took my camera and headed out today...

I managed to catch a few hours of bright daylight and took a few photos. Sitting here this evening watching a snowstorm outside and enjoying a glass of Talisker (after all, it was Burns Nite on Monday)

Just for your guide.....

there is nothing at all wrong with this stuff! Sampled a couple of bottles with some friends on Thursday evening and it was most pleasant!

Happy Birthday Noodle!

Hey Gorgeous,
it was great to speak with you on the phone earlier in the week but I'm sorry that I was busy and I had to run. Glad that your parcel arrived and we wish you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Enjoy the weekend and please give our love and kisses to the rest of the family as well    xxxxx
P.S.  nice shirt!   :-)

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to my right


Off to work in the morning and I certainly hope that the markets are more user-friendly than they have been for the last couple of weeks! It would be nice to get stuck in and do some real business- come on guys!

After a week of shaving with the new mousetrap

I can say that it is better. Sure, it might take a little longer, but it is better. A little like writing a letter with a fountain pen, I guess............. it might take just a little longer but the process is something to be enjoyed.
I had a good swim this morning and I am looking forward to getting into the pool again tomorrow and then hopefully to the gym as well.
Geneva was a lot of fun last week- the watch show was terrific and it was nice to catch up with old friends as well as having the chance to make some new ones.

I will probably live to regret this (and maybe not too long), however


I went out today and bought myself a safety razor. I was a little sick of the constant price-hiking by Gillette and Co (not to mention the shenanigans of their highly-paid ad-men) and thought that I might try to shave like a "real man" for a while. If you see me in the street and it appears that I have had an accident with a hedge-trimmer please smile and walk on......

I'm going to the gym and for a swim today


and I am not sure if I am kidding myself, but I do seem to be still getting stronger in the water. The challenge now is to not get bored and try to keep up the training amidst the January crowds- it can be a right royal PITA when the pool is über-full  :-(

A belated Happy New Year to you all

and best wishes for health and happiness in 2010. I will leave the debate as to whether this is the start of a new decade or not to another forum.....   :-)
I spent a little time yesterday reading through an interesting music blog "Rafter Lights" which is written by Simpsnut14 and is a wonderful resource compiled by a real music lover. I can't recommend it highly enough!
The sun is shining here today and after a sleep-in and relaxed breakfast, I should get my sorry butt out of the door, take some photos and head to the pool.
