Aaahh…the weekend !

Settling and clearing out the weeks clutter and a couple of undisturbed days with the family ! I’m just back a couple of weeks from a fortnight off - first hold in 6months this year…not good planning !! Still spent part of the first week here and had a great time…highly recommend it if you like wild, unusual places to holiday :0)

General pottering and family related stuff ensued the remainder of the week and getting ready for the big trip later on next month to France…going camping in style and we’re getting very very excited !! Mrs. B and I used to go camping years ago B.B. (Before Babies) and had loads of fun - still have the tent actually - we’re thinking something marginally bigger may be in order this time ! What else…oh yeah the facebook phenomenon has finally caught up with me. And I’ve found friends from school nearly 25 years since last we spoke…gulp ! Amazing to see where people have ended up from the dismal and dreich depths of south lanarkshire ?! There’s still a few I’ve yet to track down but they’re either in disguise or keeping an incredibly low profile ! Someone knows where Bongy and Rod McPherson are these days ?!

Oh and first week back hitting the bike for the commute - the bypass round Edina’s a joke, they’ve dug up Sherriffhall r/about and the dalkeith bypass is nearly complete - makes me want to cry - what a mess ?! Still 20mls a day on the bike and not pumping car fumes into the atmos = happy old me. wow…I haven’t done this in ages !? Amazing how good some sleep can make you feel !?

Happy Xmas everyone!

Well another year rolls around to a close and it’s been a pretty momentus one for us as a family. Mrs. Brown delivered another bundle of joy in September who is now a strapping 14wks old and full of smiles, giggles and pooh !

My old Dad got taken seriously ill a little before the arrival of #2 sprog and gave us all quite a scare for a few weeks there but has since managed to claw his way back and is now battling through into the sunlight again just like the scrapper he is….Love you Dad! A webcam is a poor substitute but it’ll have to do until that gites en France comes around eh ?

And finally my swapping allegiances to HSBC after over 5 years in RBS has been a wild ride. A significant challengeon all fronts but one I should have embraced a long time ago as comparing things now and a year ago…I’ve been free-wheeling for too long ! Q4 2007 has gone well, and 2008 is shaping up to be (as we say in these parts) a brammer !

Well hope Santa was good to you and 2008 brings you further happiness and prosperity.
