Cambus Pools

Took the bike out for a short spin this evening. Found my way down past the Cambus pools to where the Devon meets the Forth. I think.







Down near Cambus

Down by the riverside....

Little fishes above the Lagan

Back in Belfast for a few days to meet up with the mother-in-law.  Escaped from the house when she wasn't watching, and nipped into town for a wander.  Just note the fact that many shops are closed on Easter Tuesday......

And we met up with some of Ellen's old mates for lunch.

Salad for them and pig leg for me.  Epic!

Shame about the bed of beans!

Icy snap in Fife

Please note that the road was slippery this morning

Really slippery!



And for the record, I stopped to take the photo.

Busy weekend?

Drop E at airport on Friday morning so she can get the early flight to Belfast. Go to work. Come home for tea and an evening of usual mayhem plus discovered the washing machine had packed in.
Saturday: leave at 5am for boat to Belfast and enjoy a shared taxi into the city centre. We shared with some of "Shaggy's stag do". After a lovely time shopping we had lunch at Granny's and tea with the Harcourts.
Up for a lovely breakfast and off to the boat where I slept soundly. Shaggy's mates were quiet!

Then home in time to get to Ar@@s to collect our new washing machine. It is now working and I'm off to bed.

The bank that likes to say - Sorry

There was a slight mix-up at the bank......


And a slight mix up at home when they sent these flowers to arrive on Valentine's day.


 
A very welcome present from the "Customer Relations Team".  We like First Direct!

Thursday Gras

With 1 child away on tuesday, we saved our fat feast until this evening. 

Apart from melted cheese and ham, and tuna-mayo, we seem to have acquired 2 jars of chocolate spread.  The popping candy was good, but I prefer the Chocolate orange.

But which is better? There's only one way to find out ............
