It's almost 4 o'clock

Sometimes, things work out for the best. This was not my original blip for today, but for some unknown reason, Blip wouldn't accept the file. It wasn't XXX-rated, (I use another site for that LOL), but there's obviously a problem with it. And as it turns out, I prefer this photo better.

A big thanks to all for your kind words yesterday, I really appreciate you taking the time to come and visit .
Before we moved house earlier this year, a New Years Eve tradition was to go to the local in time for for "Scottish New Year", at 4 o'clock. Because of the time zone, we celebrated New Year twice, once at 4 o'clock, and once at midnight. The 4 o'clock one was attended by all the ex-pats, with pipers in attendance and we were given a piece of shortbread, a wee dram, (or three), and a little lump of coal by the landlord. It was easy to spot the local Canadians who hadn't heard of this tradition before as they looked quizzically at the lump and asked questions of each other with their eyebrows. This year, it's too far to go so a quiet night in is called for. A mouth-watering prime rib roast, a vino or 6, and a movie. So to all blippers, have a very healthy, happy and prosperous New Year.

Ah well. Until next year....
