The wind howled through the night and battered the house with much banging and clanging. It dawned clear and bright. A beautiful day with no nasty hot winds to put people all wrong. Mary says it's the ions that get stirred up from the north west.
Finn was at the dentist first thing this morning. He has no cavities, but told Shannon there was a plank in his back teeth that had something to do with this mornings breakfast. It was plaque!
Spook and I took Shannon to the Cinema to see if we could stir up some Scottish Patriotism in her. We had always heard that Wullie Kellock from Spean Bridge was one of the four students who stole the Stone of Destiny from Westminster, in the 50's. He didn't seem to feature and it was a slow movie, but the patriotism was certainly brought out of Spook and I by the end. Shannon has gone home to download some Scottish music. Scots Wha Hae was played in the back ground a lot, which was a bit bizarre, as I gave Spook a rendition of that in bed this morning before we got up. I gave Shannon a rousing verse when I dropped her off at her house, but I don't think I inspired her to download it. Wild Mountain Thyme was featured, and that did sound good. It's all part of the plot to make sure Spook comes home at Christmas. I shall be bombarding him with such things.
The photos are from Sunday, as even though it was a glorious day, we didn't manage any photos. There is Steve, Shannon and Spook; a great white warrior wife; and Big Mo and Wee Shannon.
grateful for;
Being Scottish.
