More Snow...

Well well....
Today was the last day of my holidays so it's back to reality tomorrow.
Not such a bad thing, as sad as it sounds I do miss work when i'm not there!

But like I said today was my last day so had to make the most of it... after spending the morning saying cheerio to Jen and Linda and got all tidied up I then spend the remainder of the morning with Laura watching TV and surfing Facebook.... That was then followed by lunch from JG Ross in Kemnay then the afternoon was spent making a Igloo with Laura, Liam and Ian.

This was great fun! it's been years since i last made an igloo!
Wee used a big plastic box and packed the snow into it to make the bricks which then were placed one on top of an other to create the walls AND the roof of the igloo! Was FAB!
Here are some photos.





Like I was a great afternoon, felt like a big kid again!

After we had finished Jim ( Laura's dad ) after taking some photos decided to join us for a snowball fight which was rather entertaining indeed! 3 against one though... no soo fair!

As we all sat inside after tea and watched TV the snow had started again outside and in the past 3 hours there has been a good few inches fallen, and as i look outside now the sky looks heavy as it continues to snow....

Here is a photo I have just taken.



It's just taken from the back door but all the paths that were clear and the roads that were clear are now no longer clear! As i drove home from Laura's at 9:30 PM there looked to be a good couple of inches lying even on the roads! It was not good to drive on! And Laura has informed me that the academy is closed to transport pupils tomorrow!
Just as well! but it's crazy to think that the headlines are that the worst is to come!

Anyhoo! Hope you all stay safe with all the snow!

:)

Ok... so this morning I awoke, and on my journey to the bathroom to have my shower like i do every morning, I once again found Abbie ( my sister linda's dog ) had left a wee present for me. this is the 2nd time she has left a present for us in the morning during this festive period.
Incase you haven't worked it out, Abbie had pooped!
This is not normal for Abbie to do this as she is really a very good dog and the reason for her leaving these presents was because she wasn't feeling well and after church this morning we arrived home to a very peilly wally Abbie Babbie!

Linda phone the vet and we got an emergency appointment in Oldmeldrum where Abbie got a few injections to help with this infection she had. So through out the day Abbie has been very sleepy and here are some photos of her through out the day!

I Hope Abbie gets better soon! She is away home to Glasgow tomorrow :( but i'm sure ill see both Abbie and Linda again soon!
Was good seeing them and i'll miss them when they leave!

Aberdeen Panto...

Well as you can see for the ticket above, today we went to see the panto in Aberdeen.
This was the Christmas get together with the cousins of the Sutherland variety from Fraserburgh. Normally we would go to them in Fraserburgh or they would come through to Kemnay for the day but this year we decided to do something a bit different and headed to the Aberdeen Panto followed be a delicious meal at Frankie and Bennies in the new shopping centre in aberdeen, Union Square.

Back to the panto....
Just the weekend before Christmas Laura and myself went down to Glasgow for the weekend to stay with my sister Linda and I surprised Laura by giving her a few tickets to Beauty and the Beast... now these kind of things are not really my cup of tea...
But both Beauty and the Beast and Aberdeen Panto were both very good and the enthusiasm put in to the acting at these things were great... I just don't know how people can stand up there and act in such a cheesy way making a fool of them selfs for the entertainment of others.

Like I said after the panto we headed off to frankie and bennies and we caught up with the cousins and heard what they been up to since we last saw them! was great to see everyone again as this is not a regular thing because apparently the kids have all grown up and are now doing their own thing and now live scattered across the country... but it great when we do get together.

Hopefully we will see them again soon in the not too distant future!

And thanks Mum, Dad, Uncle Ian and Auntie Elizabeth for treating us all to a great day out...
It's much appreciated!

Thanks! :)

My First Post....

Well it's the 1st January 2010.
It's a new year and as normal last night my Mum and Dad had there usual hogmany party at the house in Kemnay....
This is a anual party my parents have at the house, inviting friends and family to meet together and join in some games and fellowship as we enter into the new year!

The past few years It has turned into tradition for my dad to say a 'few' words to reflect the year that has past us by.

So last night after 12 O'clock we all took a seat with our drinks ready for a toast as Dad did his wee speech.
His blog was something that kept cropping into the conversations all night as his blog is full with so much information about places he has been and relatives and Friends who have been on holiday and keeping tabs on his blog would maybe help people when it comes to a certain game that is always played at new year in the Buchan house hold at this party!

You might wonder what the blog would have to do with anything... but the wee speech is normally about my dad's memories of the year. Something i only really realised last night when he was doing his speech was that I often look at his blog and more often than not look at past memories that my Dad had blogged. Things like holidays we have been on, wee projects he has done and grandparents who are now no longer with us...

I felt I would really enjoy to do this too, no so much from the writing side of things, as those of you who do know me know that I am no the best when it comes to my English! but having those memories blogged I thought would be a great thing to do so that maybe..... someday.... sometime..... in many many years time.... show my kids my memories and share with them things i enjoy. I have had great enjoyment out of following my Dad's blog. so thanks Dad!

Hope you and mum have a great 2010!

So there you go! A wee insight into why i am starting a blog as a new years resolution in 2010!

let's see how long it goes :)
