SECURITY SCARE

After a major security breach, we have now decided to put two guards on duty to secure Jock Rennie's bed for the 2nd April.

WOOD DAY

Have been busy with the wood today.

Firstly a log was chain sawed up to make stepping stones for the front garden.

Then varnished on both sides.

Then the wood we got last month has mostly been chopped up for next winter.

We now have more than enough to see us through.

A NEW GLOBAL MAP

Just so we can see who is watching the blog from anywhere in the world.

25 YEARS APART.

How things change.

25 years ago in 1986 when I was 25, my interests in life were wide and varied and radical.

As I am 50 in 13 days, I have decided to list my likes of a quarter of a century ago, with today's more gentle pastimes.

TWO WEEKS TO GO

Two weeks to go before my big 50th birthday.

So I have trawled the net to see what I can expect.

It seems nothing but misery lies ahead now!

This will be the first aisle I will head too when at the local supermarket.

Mind you, 35 euros for 90 adult nappies isn't too bad.

I shall also become instantly a "miserable old sod" overnight.

Seems I will only be able to fly with this company airline.

Only 120 seats on board, but luckily each one next to a toilet!

They are not too frequent with the drinks trolley, just in case of embarrassing accidents.

I wouldn't be too amused at this road sign being put in at the end of our road.

By the way, what is that woman doing with her hand to the old fella?

And I certainly won't be doing this at 50.

Yep..There's no fun being old!!!

PARTY PREPS.

Tomorrow means we are just 2 weeks away from the big 50 birthday.

There is a selection of the UK nations finest servicemen turning up for a big bash on Sat 2nd April at the Nautil.

The finest local bar a man could wish for.

We have started our preparation here, and we have already put the tightest security on Jock Rennies bed.

Have a nice sleep Jock..It is well protected.

AROUND AND ABOUT

Sometimes we do a dog walk that takes us around the whole perimeter of St Potan, just to be nosey really and see what is going on.

Cows like to stare at the dogs.
