Snowy December 2010

Stace — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 12:01:13 +0000

We missed the first ‘big freeze’ while we were in Morocco, but we’re back now and the snow has started again. My flight home from London was cancelled on Friday so I had to train it the whole way. This is what Missy looked like when I finally got home after 9pm.

I wish we’d had a chance to cover her in her raincoat before the weather changed. She has a thicker snow blanket now after snowing again yesterday and three showers already today. We will brave the weather soon to go to the gym and get some food!

Typical!

So typical, I’ve been working my butt off all summer with no proper break, and as soon as it’s the week before a romantic week away hiking with amazing husband, bam! Stupid sore throat and runny nose hits me like a freight train into my head. Ouch. Yuck. Boo.

Croak, croak… crocus!

Even though it’s gone back to grey and chilly now, we had a burst of spring weather last week. Wes and I had a wee run around the park last weekend, and the crocuses are keen for spring to arrive as well.

Happy Hogmanay

Even though it’s flippin freezing, it’s really beautiful in Aberdeen. Y’all should come visit! Happy days! Here’s to a rocking 2010 everyone.

We popped out this arvo to nab a couple more geocaches, and it was a gorgeous sunset.

Bruce the Spruce

Wes and I popped out to Kirkhill Forest today to select our tree. Last year, I chose a lovely bushy pine tree, so this year was Wes’ choice. Quite the drama, they are all so different, but in the end he decided on a cute little spruce called Bruce.

fire safety from our American office

USA: Sorry for missing your call. We had a fire drill here and I don’t think you would appreciate the noise…
me: oh dear. we had ours yesterday morning at 9.30, they made us all go outside on the coldest day so far this season…. brrrr….
USA: at least you get to go outside… they make us stay here and listen to 10 mins of these loud drill and flashing lights. it makes you want to tear your eyes out!
me: so you don’t practice the evacuation at all? how do they know that you know how to get out of the building if there was a real fire?
USA: we don’t! we just walk to the exit doors and stand there until the end of the drill. our office here is on the 37th floor and there are a total of 54 floors! they shut down all the elevators during the drill so the only way down is the stairs…

Gone grey overnight!

I was just doing my hair, and I found not one or two, but about ten white hairs in my head! It’s almost like I’ve gone grey overnight. How cool is that!! And there’s probably more at the back I can’t see. So distinguished :)

Princess Missee Tism Kathleen McCurrie!

But you can call her missy… I found a better photo:

Oops!

Wow, I haven’t updated for ages. Here’s a photo of me looking stressed about not updating for ages. Look how stressed I am! Clearly there’s a job coming for me this weekend… or next weekend because we’re camping this weekend…
