Devil dog and horny cow

Where does the time go? Another month almost gone and it went very quickly.  Managed 4 walks to Kirkcaldy, one over the Binn to Aberdour and one, yes only one, run. Still, it could have been worse and the weather wasn't always welcoming to outdoor adventures.  At least with the days getting longer I can do things after work, though it's backshift for me this week, until Thursday, then a long weekend down in the borders is planned. Going to a place I haven't been since I was 4..why am I getting drawn back to places from my childhood, do I have some kind of syndrome?

Month started sorting out Broadband, Gas & Electricity etc. Tried moving Broadband, but something went wrong with the god awful new internet company I chose. Still, I cancelled within 2 weeks and got my money back eventually. Will stay with Plusnet for now, though will probably change unless I get a better deal next year.

Just worked the whole weekend, I do one full weekend a month and it was busy, though we did seem understaffed. As stated, am backshift today, which means no alarm clock in the morning, though getting back later at night is the downside. I try not to think about work when not there, so enough. Sometimes I feel only one bad day away from walking out..

Was over in Edinburgh last Wednesday night, met up with Gordon while the others attended the Pet Shop Boys concert in the Playhouse. We went to a couple of pubs, one on Rose Street had a free microphone night and we were quite impressed by a young Australian on the guitar.  After that we went to the Guildford Arms to meet up with Annie and Bea. Was a good night and it was just as well I had the next day off. Really have to get to Edinburgh more than once a month, it costs money, but is well worth it, and is a change from the same old faces in the Auld Hoose!

Here are 3 photos taken this month, one of Gordon the groupie, one of a fearsome looking highland cow and the other of Graeme's dog Lilly who looks scarier then normal due to an amateur photographer!
