Your sense of direction sounds as bad as mine I had the sat nav on my phone going last week in Liverpool cause I couldn't find my way back to the station after I'd been for a wander round the back streets & got lost.

I was on my knees by the time I found where I had left the car

Not a lot its still playing up.

Afternoon TM.
5 miles We are lucky with the flooding too. Soggy underfoot but no flooding thank goodness.
I hope you have your feet up now.

Afternoon Azz.

Afternoon all,

I was expecting to be back earlier today, but the course overran. So was out on the flag point from 8.30 to 3pm with no break and more importantly nowhere to wee apart from a bush! Was on another flag this time, quieter. One large boat and a plane which kept going around. I think it must have been on a holding pattern cause range control said Inverness airport was clouded over.

The wee sentry box we sit in is on a raised platform with wood round it and a bit of concrete sloping down to the ground. Went out to have a look along the shore, slipped and fell on said concrete on my behind. Which now is very painful to sit on. I'm just grateful there was no-one there to see me...

Got to the point where I was so cold I wrapped the spare flag round me to try to warm up....didn't work though. I did bring my gas stove with me so put that on for a while. That worked for a wee while.

I got back about an hour ago cause I had to do some shopping. Once dinner is cooked I'm having a hot bath, hitting the books for a while then going to bed.

Evening Lorraine.
You are a braver woman than me. Enjoy that well earned hot bath.

Evening everyone

Here's the magic bottle - I had to give it a service this morning because the virtual alcohol seemed a little strong

Good to see that you are all safe and sound, and as always the puppy fix is delightful.

Spent the morning cleaning the silver, including cutlery, in readiness for Christmas - that's one horrible job out of the way; perhaps as the ironing man has gone missing we could have a butler instead?!

Am in a decline now that F1 has finished for the season, and also because poor Lewis was thumped out by Hucklenburg. Exciting race though, as virtually all the races have been this year.

Fire's been lit a few hours, we have triple chocolate chip muffins and cottage pie with carrots, broccoli and cauli for tea.

Oo0oh a plate of that pie in front of the roaring fire with a glass of wine sounds so appealing.

So, Brendan and Victoria are the couple out of Strictly tonight. He should be disqualified anyway for sticking his bottom out way beyond what is necessary.!

Evening Sally.
Butler will he be half naked too.
I am a happy woman Michael has just sent a text he is staying at his new girlfriends tonight see I knew there was something going on. So I haven't got to tun out in the wet and cold night to get him from the station and take him early tomorrow to the station.
So I am on the red wine.
Dillon is settled at last and snoring lik a tractor.

He has been so naughty today then a little earlier he comes up on the sofa and gives me such a lovely cuddle that melts your heart and makes me wonder how I could threaten him with sending him back.
Of course that could change again tomorow.
