Howdy Blogging Buckaroos!

I awoke this morning to the sound of birdsong, the light peeping in along the curtain tops and the muffled chatter of children walking to school. Today is Friday and the weekend is here to enjoy!

A quick peek at the weather over my bowl of yogurt and Alpen: “a bit of rain and shine” ~ typical. As my granny used to say, “Yer grandpa’s like the weather- nae pattern.”, meaning: The Scottish climate is like your grandfather – unpredictable. lol

But then there is another saying: “January’s cauld can be used”, meaning: Even January can be a lovely month if you know what to do with it. So as it looks like Sunday will be braw* l’ll make plans for then. :)

My youngest sister is past her due date for her first child. I have been thinking of her much because l know she is more than ready for things to start happening. She lives in Germany now with her husband who is stationed there with his army regiment. My mum is going out in a few weeks to be with her.

Here she is in the photo with me. This snap was taken years back when l lived in Georgia, U.S. My mum and sister had come out to visit and we took them to a place called ‘Ghost Town in the Sky’ ~ what an adventure that was. 'D' is the cowboy and 'M' the indian.

Well l need to get on, 'S' has a birthday party to attend tomorrow and l still have to go and buy a present for his wee friend.

Additional Note:

When l was busy scanning these photos 'S' brought his empty plate of oatmeal over and sat it on my chair, then hung back giggling, waiting for me to sit on it! He is so funny and l had better watch out- the wee trickster!

Unintelligible, yet somehow mysteriously compelling, Scots word for grand, fine, super, etc

It's a braw, bricht, moonlicht nicht t' nicht

(Translated into lesser English: It's a superb, bright, monnlit night tonight)
