Reasons to be cheerful...

Aye, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Last day @ work for nearly 2 weeks :-)
Our good friends Adam and Mo called round with presents for the boys.
Nice evening walk with Barney - it was a lovely, clear, star-filled sky, Christmas trees in all of the windows and we even heard the carol singers rehearsing in the local church as we passed.

All back down to earth with a bang though watching TV later - 10 years on from the Indian Ocean Tsunami, slavery in Iraq and Syria and then of course there was the horrific incident with the lorry in Glasgow this afternoon.
