a thousand trees

I guess it’s officially winter now. The car was iced up this morning, the hundred odd geese resting on the loch were making a racket and, of course, the ultimate tell-tale sign: the Chinese takeaway have started giving out free 2010 calendars with every order.

Winter up here is dark – and cold – but the nights out seem to sparkle more as the lasses make up for the dingy days by wearing sparkles. Maybe it’s just the fact that I’m from dahn sahf, where there is some darktime at nightime all year around, but it doesn’t feel like a proper night out unless I am going home in the dark ;)

I’ve finally managed to get that song out of my head which was making me think too much. Now it’s filled with Sterephonic-ness (sorry Lis!)

You know, for some inexplicable reason, I was so happy it was the weekend I practically danced off site, after announcing to my co-workers “The weekend has landed!” (and was extremely chuffed when one of them was not only immediately able to recognise the quote but also had the soundtrack on his laptop..)

I think Himself was rather embarrassed by my gabbling and boogying but, hey :D

I’ve got absolutely nothing to look forward to this weekend really. I’ve got the normal chores to do – cleaning out various animal accommodation, track down exactly where the hens are hiding their eggs (dammit), make sure all are fed, watered and not beating each other up… chasing around lambs to get them wormed… not exactly glamorous but at least the sun is shining!
