It doesn't matter how many times the kids do it, but the old 'pine cone in the wellies' trick always makes me sh1t myself. My fear is abnormal. (like we ever get scorpions in Fife! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ)

We will be watching Home Alone later today. I think I might be in for a tough week... 😱

It's taken a couple of months, but I think I've almost got over the automatic fight, fight, fight mode that I had on Twitter.
It's a healthier space to occupy.

Oh, I say!! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ€£
I was doing a crossword in the pub and said to my Scottish friend;
β€œI'm stuck on one, β€˜trapped on a desert island, eight letters, starting with M’ β€œ
He said β€œMarooned”
I replied
β€œThanks, I'll have a vodka and coke then!”

I live in Fife, Scotland.
It's the second half of November.
It's just over 5 weeks until Christmas.
Today, I've been mowing the lawn!! πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Hullo there ol' pal!
It also feels like walking back into your friendly, well-kent local pub after spending a summer in a mental, drug-addled Ibiza club resort. Phew!

Just having a wee keek around the place, to see if it's safe to escape...
