The First Shift...

No Forth swimming for me this year. For one, once in a couple of years is quite enough for me and two, Mrs TFP was working so we were a band of three braving the crowds of this years Loony Dook.

So we headed out to watch the brave souls venture water-ward into the Forth and aimed to go for a 'cheeky wee' stop at the Bridges cafe before heading back.

When we got back is just a lazy afternoon messing about and invited the next door neighbour round to play for a wee bit. We ended up trying to build rockets. The kids worked on the aesthetics, I worked on the engines.

So I'm not big on New Year celebrations as such, I like to think of it more in terms of a good old revolution of the sun but nonetheless, Happy New Year to all my blip friends and followers alike.

As a nice wee link to a the New Year and our day, here's some wonderful pieces of music that I came across last year that relate to our day. Floating Down the Forth by Frightened Rabbit and the sublime Lippy Kids by Elbow.
