Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁

Hope the holidays are everything you want them to be (for me, that's 'pretty quiet with lots of sleep'!).

I'll be available during the festive period, so if you're in need of a proofreader, get in touch 👇

Two rows of Christmas trees in purple and pale blue, with colourful stars on top. The wording underneath says 'Merry Christmas from Eagle Editing. Eagle-eyed proofreading services. www.eagle-editing.co.uk'.

Spotted this on an item I uploaded to Vinted earlier.

Even if you're only writing a few words, it's always worth double checking the spelling...

(No, I don't understand the quotation marks either 🤷‍♀️)

#Proofreading
Text on item of packaging says 'Uses 3 AAA batteries (not included)', but included is misspelled and there are erroneous double quotation marks after 3 and AAA.

#BookBenchTrail number two, in Aberdeen city centre.
A bench designed to look like an open book. The spine of the book rests on the ground, and the front half of the book is bent over towards the ground to create the bench seat; the rest of the book forms the vertical back of the bench. The visible pages are decorated with pictures of buildings and famous Aberdonians, including singer Annie Lennox.

Saw this #BookBench sculpture on my lunchtime #StetWalk today. It's part of a free art exhibit for CLAN Cancer Support charity in NE Scotland ❤️

A beautiful sunny day for a lunchtime #StetWalk.

#Aberdeen #spring
A city centre park (Union Terrace Gardens) is bathed in sunshine from a clear blue sky. A few small trees frame the view over a bed of bright yellow daffodils to a central grassy area, with the large His Majesty's Theatre building in the background.

Was doing the day job in the city centre today, so took a lunchtime #StetWalk to a charity bookshop and bought myself some presents 🎁 😀

#AmReading
Paperback copies of three novels side by side, standing up on their ends. The novels are The Crow Trap by Ann Cleeves, It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover and The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton.

The local farmers were hard at work while I was on my lunchtime #StetWalk today.

#Aberdeenshire #spring
A blue tractor ploughs a field and is followed by a flock of white seagulls. In the distance, there are some houses on a hillside, and to the left is the North Sea, sparkling in the sunshine.

Did the same #StetWalk route today as on Monday, but went anticlockwise instead of clockwise round the hill. Some different views and lots of Highland cattle having breakfast 🥰

#Aberdeenshire
Several Highland cows, all with large horns and long shaggy dark orange coats, eat from a circular trough in a muddy area of their field. One cow looks towards the camera. Sheep munch grass in a field that stretches away to the cliffs at the edge of the North Sea. The white foam of waves crashing onto rocks at the foot of the cliffs is just visible. The sky is blue with some high thin white clouds.

Made best use of my 45-min lunchbreak today to take a longer #StetWalk than usual. I’ve been very lazy for the last couple of weeks, so I'll be a bit sore tomorrow, but it's worth it! ☀️
A grassy, slightly muddy path winds its way alongside a wire fence at the edge of a field; there are prickly gorse bushes on the other side of the path. In the distance are some of the houses of a coastal village. The sky is blue with some white cloud in the distance.

A slightly frosty morning in #Aberdeenshire and some beautiful icy patterns on my (old) car ❄️

Another lovely, albeit very chilly, #StetWalk this afternoon. The snow's not shifting yet, but at least it's sunny (or should that be 'moony?).

#Aberdeenshire #Winter
A snowy footpath bordered by bushes on the left and trees on the right. The moon can be seen in the bright blue sky, which also has a few white clouds.

Not as much snow here on the coast as inland, but enough to make me glad I don't have to drive anywhere for the rest of this week. A wee #StetWalk is always good, though!

#Winter #Aberdeenshire #Scotland
A snow-covered area of public park, bordered by a row of houses on the right and a line of trees on the left. A sliver of the North Sea can be seen in the distance.

Have been out for a walk and eaten a mince pie (not at the same time), and am now settled in for #MaryPoppins 🥰

Happy new year, everyone! 🎉

Assuming going to the pavement with the bin (& returning to take it in once emptied) doesn't *really* count as 'going out', I spent the last two days indoors with a cold. Today I made the effort to go out for TWO walks, including past the village 'Christmas house'. Feeling better already.

#StetWalk
Looking up a quiet residential street towards a house (on the right-hand side of the road) whose frontage is entirely covered with bright Christmas lights. The family lights the house this way every December to raise money for charity.

Nice Christmas morning walk earlier with my mum. It's nice to have the relative calm of a large park within a few minutes' walk of her city home.

#StetWalk #Christmas #Winter
View along a tarred road lined with trees, most of which have dropped all their leaves. Four lanes of a running track are painted in white along the length of the road, which is closed to motorised vehicles. The word FINISH is painted in capital letters in the foreground, and appears upside down to the viewer.

Hope everyone has a great Christmas!
A green Christmas tree decorated with gold stars and red baubles. A selection of colourfully wrapped gifts lies under the tree. The caption reads Merry Christmas from Eagle Editing.
