Thursday 20th June

Third day of the laying of the new road...

Technical Issues!

Hey all, Ross here.

Mum has been having some issues with her ipad and blogspot, so I am just on to try and replicate the problem. It looks like the wee tool she has on her ipad uses some very bad HTML code to construct posts, leading to broken image previews and some very strange formatting issues.

Feel free to ignore this whole post.

Wednesday morning

It snowed again last night and sitting all cosy in bed under the duvet, I can see the snow on the branches of the trees and hear the scraping sound of folk clearing the ice off their windscreens.

Carole is still dreadfully ill with this flu bug. She reckons she went back to work too soon. Remember too, that she had pleurisy last year, you just wonder if there is now a weakness there ;-(

We had fish pie for tea last night. I made one for Banchory and one for Inverurie.

As Luca got into the car after school, he caught sight of the pie on the floor.
"I hope that's not for my tea," he said mournfully.

"Oh yes, Luca!" I replied to which I got the inevitable response.
"I don't like that!"

You feel so sorry for him - he's a dab hand at 'the pitiful'!



In the end, I compromised, he had some fish out of the pie with frozen alphabet chips which are more to his liking!

There was somebody else who liked the pie... wee Yoda!
Tempted past endurance, she had managed to leap onto the table while we were in the room next door and was frantically trying to get the lid off the dish when Gary discovered her. It was his tea, she was trying to steal!

Poor wee think was scolded, firmly smacked and thrown outside to reflect on her bad behaviour!

The snow is back...




The scene from my bedroom window.
Last year at this time, we were having a mini heat wave according to the weather folk!

Thoughts on flowers





"And what kind of flowers did you give to your mum for Mother's Day?" I asked a friend's granddaughter yesterday.
"They were yellow," she said, "with little bumble bees!"

Check out my flowers.

Is this a trend this year?

Tuesday night




This is the savoury cake that Gary made especially for Mother's Day. It has chilli in it and carrot and lentils among other things. Gary wasn't too clear about what all the ingredients were.

I quite liked it, especially on Monday when I served wedges of it with fried eggs at lunchtime for Ross and I. Ross couldn't cope with the idea and removed the cake from his plate. After eating the eggs, he tried the cake but admitted after one bite that it just wasn't for him.

Sorry Gary.
