Bingo!

Well, I've had quite a week; some good news and some bad. However, after all's said and done, I'm happy with my progress.

Back to the beginning - I've had a bit of a health scare and the news wasn't as good as I hoped. However, it certainly isn't the worst it could be either, so I feel truly lucky. I'm not a gambling type normally, but I decided that now would be a good time to try my hand at a bit of online bingo - wow, imagine my surprise when I won back more than my stake money.

After a phone call from some friends, I find that they also play online bingo at a site called Paddy Power Bingo. Maybe next time I'll try my luck at Paddy Power bingo, my friends said they recently won a few hundred pounds on it one night!

The luck of the ..... Irish?? - well, I'm Scottish but that's close enough LOL!

Funny, Geeky Tshirts

I finally found a great tshirt for my nephew; he's the one studying at Heriott Watt University; he loves his computer and the games available on them; not quite sure how he gets time to study. Anyway, looking for a gift for him, I came across Supergoodtees where there are some really cool, geeky teeshirts available. Problem solvered :) - thanks, Supergoodtees!

I had few chuckles as I surfed the catalog on their site - there's a large selection there ....!

Knitting and Crochet

I've been looking around for some knitting and crochet patterns - and came across a cool site which offers a whole lot of free patterns; I love the baby knits and am going to work on one for my great-nephew.

As a fairly competent knitter, I know that the patterns are going to work out ok; it's ages since I did any knitting but, just like riding a bicycle, some skills just don't go away! Not so sure about my crochet technique, tho!

Oooh, I just noticed, the site also has a free newsletter where you can subscribe to get free patterns by email. I guess I'll subscribe to that as soon as I finish this article!

Happy New Year - enjoy the knitting and crochet from Purple Kitty Yarns.

Marry Christmas

Hey, everyone - I hope you have a wonderful Christmas - and that you got all your Christmas shopping done in time! Mind you, there are times when a cash gift is the best thing you can get because you can then buy that wonderful bit of art which you always wanted. I've got a wee wishlist for some of the art of Kira Ayn Varszegi - I noticed just now that, as well as the Painting by Breast series of work, she also has some stunning photography for sale. Well done Kira!

More photos from our holiday in Tain

We had a lovely holiday - the weather ranged from grey to glorious - and here's the photo to prove it. This is the main shopping street in Tain which was bathed in sunshine on Saturday morning as we got ready to leave for home.

Holiday in the north of Scotland

We had a quick escape to a self-catering cottage in Tain. A lovely, golden October week in the north of Scotland. OK, the weather wasn't terrific every day but even on the grey days we could get out and explore. It was marvellous.

This image shows Keiss harbour - we called in here late one evening and spent a few minutes having a look around.

I'll publish more photos shortly - but I should really get down to some work!

Cheers for now
