Tha e ceòthach

It's the shortest day but doesnt look like the sun will be gracing us with its presence at all. 

Looking forward to switching on the out of office later this afternoon. 

Looking forward to the break:  DD joining us for a few days over Christmas, followed by step-daughter and then New Year (with Pitlochry's New Year Day Street Party to look forward to) and ending with a few days in Dumfries & Galloway. 

I daresay I will manage some family-treeing in bewteen times and perhaps learn a  few more gaelic phrases. 

Been invited over to friends for drinks this evening which will be a nice way to start holiday (and will mean looking out head torches so we can go via the woods !)
