Yes, we have snow.
No, I am not going to build a snowman.
As for the person who suggested I strip naked and make snow angels… Talk to the hand!!
Yes, snow is very pretty in photos and yes, it’s lovely to sit by a warm fire and look at the snow out the window, but it’s a pain in the arse when you need to go anywhere and in case you hadn’t noticed, it’s fecking freezing!!!
Come back to me when you’ve invented warm snow, I might be interested.
Bah Humbug!!
Remember I told you that Hubby had bought a few logs for the fire? Well here they are…
We have a forest!!!! A horizontal one lol. Well that’s about 2/3 of them anyway. He is now also the proud owner of one of these…
The weather you dirty bunch of pervs! Honestly, I don’t know…. what
Anyway, yeah it’s been horrible. Force 10 winds. horrid drizzly rain and downright feckin freezin!
Speaking of which, Hubby has bought in a few logs for the fire…. More on that tomorrow….
This is the Leebles post with gratuitous Lizziness!
Happy now?
Good!
ARIES-The Ram (March 21-April 20)
Key word: Action

Quality: Cardinal
Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac and is ruled by the planet Mars which is located in it's natural First House. It is associated with the beginning of a cycle. When a planet or house cusp is in Aries, the planet or house will describe how or where you strive to be first.
Aries turns ideas into action, is spontaneous, competitive and enthusiastic. It will also show qualities of impulsiveness, selfishness and aggressiveness.

Some positive traits: Initiating, pioneering, eager, courageous, independent, dynamic.
Some negative traits : Quick-tempered, violent, impatient, egotistical, intolerant.
Yay! It’s stoopid online quiz time! There’s two minutes of my life I’ll never get back and it’s obviously wrong too….
Whut?
I see you lurking there in the shadows. Now blog biatch!
Don’t you dare use that standard excuse that “You have nothing to blog about” it makes my eyes roll in a most alarming manner. Seriously dude! Don’t put me through that.
I mean… It’s not like I have anything to blog about either. Look how many words I just managed to squeeze out of sweet fuck all.
<—You can always add a random picture just to really baffle people. :)
I need a lie down…
Happy Monday everybody
Shit I hate Mondays! This one has been worse than usual. Not only did I have to get up early after a terrible night's sleep. The house was bloody freezing! So I went back to bed.
By the time I got back up, Hubby had lit the fire... using a blow torch no less! Talk about overkill!
I managed to reschedule the work I was supposed to do today as well. So tomorrow I get to visit Tain
and Alness
Maybe I should do this every Monday? I could declare Monday a non-day. Sounds like a plan :)
There's an imposter!!
He even stole my Bacardi
I am the proud owner of a Vectra with more sodding buttons than the Enterprise!!
On the plus side, it does have air conditioning *faints with excitement* that's going to come in dead handy in summer. I mean how have I coped in the past? Sometimes the temperature reaches 24ºC here in July...
Yes I know... Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Let me just check my trusty give-a-fuck-o-meter...
To be honest, I love my new car. It has climate control which means that right now it's the only place I can get warm. Maybe I could move into it? Nah... Not enough room for all my shoes and my straighteners won't work on 12 volts.
Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.
The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.
The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

That is how somebody I spoke to described today's weather....
It's pretty much the same as saying that the sun is a bit warm! It is freezing outside! The actual temperature is somewhere just above freezing and the joys of the wind chill factor bring that down to about -10°C. A bit chilly my arse (which incidentally is as cold as the rest of me). We've had snow, rain, hail, sleet and gale-force winds. Bloody marvellous! It's not even November yet for Chrissake!
On a happier note:
I think I'm in love...
You can view the object of my desire here
Yup, that's me back to the old bicycle again. Typical, the kids have just gone back to school and the first thing the girls bring home is a permission slip for multi sports (wtf?) after school on Thursdays. Let's just hope the weather holds out for the next couple of Thursdays because I'll be cycling in to meet them and then walking them home. Before anyone asks, no I can't borrow Hubby's car. That doesn't have an MOT either, but at least it has an engine now. I could put mine in for MOT, but that would cost £55 which A: I don't have and B: Is more than the flippin car is worth!
Oh well! Looks like I'm going to get fit.
Mind you, if I need to go into town for anything I'll have to catch the bus and that's a game and a half I can tell you....
If the rain holds off I'll be fine, mind you I could always invest in one of those rather fetching rain poncho thingies... lol
Yup, shit, shite and buggrit!
Why?
Hubby's car has died suddenly, it is officially buggered. It needs a new engine.
My car as it was so nicely put today... Has more bangs and rattles than a percussion section.
Buggrit!
Actually, Hubby made a very good point today...
They say that money can't buy you happiness, but every problem we've had over the last couple of years would have been easily solved with money.
Now, I love living in Caithness, but it rains here as much as it does in Ireland and that takes some doing! Well, as I'm stuck in watching the rain, I shall update my blog for your perusal and obvious pleasure.
The Adolf kitten made his first kill the yesterday.
He stalked the large feathered creature for a while before pouncing and dispatching it with no mercy whatsoever!
Doesn't he look proud!
Also in yesterday's news...
We went out to take some photos and look for "Groatie buckies". We took plenty of photos and even found a courting couple in the long 
grass (laugh? I nearly peed meself!), but the groatie buckies avoided capture once again. We had a good nosey around the old Freswick church/chapel while we were out. That place fascinates me because everything still seems to be in there, it's like they locked up after Sunday service one week and just forgot to go back! 
We found something we hadn't noticed before as well. If you go around to the back, you can see into the hallway and lo and behold! What did we find there?...........
Tada!!!
I wonder if it still plays?
Deirdre Jacob disappeared 10 years ago this year. Her parents and 
My parents and I used to live in an old farmhouse which belonged to their family. I babysat the girls, I made snowmen with them. I find it hard to grasp the fact that she just disappeared. I mean... She is somewhere and someone must know where....
Today we have been prisoners in our own home. The midgies 
A couple of months ago, I invested in a net thingummy for the front door. To try and stop the little beggars, or at least slow them down a bit. I tried to get hubby to help me fit it..... Well, to cut a long story short, we ended up doing an emergency fitting today, whilst being 
I think I've cracked it now. I've sprayed the net with Vapona fly spray and DEET. So, next time I look out one of two things will have happened.
Bloody midgies!!
