Saturday just wasn't worth it

It snowed here earlier and then it rained and now you would never know it had snowed. Ah well.

Yes it was looking beautiful here earlier and now it is just SLUSH. I hope it doesn’t freeze.

I decided to stay on in Scotland for another week as Shannon is having a few issues so didn’t feel right to piss off back to Ireland and leave her. All the family left yesterday to celebrate New Year back home, and I am planning a pretty quiet one. Cocktails and lunch tomorrow and then have a small soirée tomorrow evening. I haven’t been feeling great over Christmas and New Year so it is lovely just to have some down time and a pretty low key New Year time.
 
Needed a few bits from the supermarket so I decided to try a Tesco Whoosh delivery. Out of nine items I needed only one was available so I had to go to the store. Fifty-odd quid later I was regretting that decision.
 
In other news I've almost successfully tamed one of the garden squirrels. This morning I was sat in the doorway because it was raining hard and he (she?) came up onto the top step because it didn't want the almond that was on the second step down and stood there in front of me, arms folded. Clearly they've now conditioned me to act in their interest because I got up, came into the kitchen for hazelnuts and when I opened the back door again it was stood there waiting but I wasn't brave enough to hold out the nut so I placed it on the step, squirrel picked it up and had a nibble then sauntered off down the garden again. I'm going to miss this when I'm back at work next week.
 
My mum has a new puppy so today I am visiting and enjoying. I imagine the novelty will have worn off the next time I visit.
 
I am SO tired today :sleepy:

Managed to bake some brownies for tomorrow night. Spending NYE with friends and there will be kids, so I wanted to bring something that ISN'T booze, too.

You’re drugging the children with loaded brownies?

(I approve)
