We are sick to the back teeh of it James....it been a drawn out winter.

Being snowing in Dyce since 5am. But we have a rather nice New Holland in claring the works car park.

I cleared 4 inches of snow at the folks at Kemnay yesterday afternoon and another 2 inches this morning. After a visit to dad in hospital at Inverurie I came back home just after 4 pm to find it was snowing but there was no snow lying and well an hour on the sun is out....the weather has really gone crazy. This time last year it was 10 degrees and you could hardly see the farmers sowing for dust.

Thats at the folks Shaun...dad has a 350 as well but no plough. Once I get home in the afternoon no doubt I will need to get my one out.

Ariound 3 to 4 inches at Kemnay yesterday afternoon. Overnight another 1 1/2 to 2 inches Can't see Benachie

Sorry to hear about the loss of your uncle but I went through the same at the back end of last year and I was actually pleased to see my uncle at rest since when I took him to the Care Home for the last 10 days of his life he said..."Its time I'm in a box".When there is no betterment folk are better at rest in my opinion.

Happy birth to Texas aka Bas and Rick aka Pops.

Car park at Dyce today around 8 am....by lunchtime I cleared 2 inches from roof windscreen and rear window...roads were fine on the way home and temperature circa 5.5 degrees with the sun out

The Isle of Skye Hotel last Sunday evening early Monday morning.

Despite the snow in Aberdeen and the shire today it was nice and sunny when I arrived home this afternoon so after I cleared my drive of a couple of inches of snow I decided to photograph my model purchases from last Saturday, Sunday and Monday following the G&M event at Perth and Kenny & Shirley Beeton's Model Show at Gretna. Having bought a flat pack table from Costco the other week I decided to make my bolt together outdoor photo booth a flat pack one as well to make it easier to handel. All held together with 2 pump it up clamps like a silicone dispenser. All in all should take up less space and less hassle to set up ...one has to make things in life as easy as possible

It's the best in Aberdeen if you are a lover of fish

Today I splept in for work ( only done that 3 times before in my working days) and woke at 6.20am. My body must have told me I needed it after a hectic 3 nights away to Perth and Gretna and Perth ...anyway out to the car git my laptop and fired it up and emailedmy boss saying I would work from home but would meet him and 4 other folk at the Silver Darling at Aberdeen Harbour for a three course lunch to celebrate my 25 yeatr service award which was actually 28th September 2012. I had the special starter which was scallops and Stornoyway black pudding. Then the special for mains which was Rock Turbet and potatoe puree and veg with home made chips thrown in. This was followed up by three sorbets...orange apple and black grape and a coffee but no tablet....you only get that on an evening. All in all a great lunch and £ 246 on expenses for the 6 of us. It would have been more expensive at night plus there would have been wine and drinks so I saved the company money So if anyone likes fish this is the place to go when in Aberdeen.....how many places do I book for the Saturday night prior to the 3rd Aberdeen Model Farm & Construction Show http://thesilverdarling.co.uk/

Came home to about an inch on my drive after my three day break.Hope it isn't going to last.

Go treat yourself to one Oliver. I took some outside photos yesterday afternoon. New table used which is quicker to set up that the two screwfix work benches. Just need to figur the quickest and easiest method to fix the back board to the table.

Thanks Barry I'm very pleased with it. Only the 500 John but we were given the option what colour of animals so I went for one to replicate Aberdeeen Angus

I collected the BFA Year 23 tractor B1440 A New Bale limited to 500 and is a David Brown Selectamatic 880. Apologies pictures taken inside and not great but will get outdoor ones onece the weather improves.

Yes Robert they are not bad for the money and I need to declutter one of my wooden sheds,In addition it will be South facing so it will safe the Butinox / stain from the sun on the side of one of the sheds.

A Ketter storage shed and a fold away table with my Costco rebate voucher ...only had to pay £ 14,53 fir the two. The fold up table will be used to replace my outdoor photographing booth.

Avoiding a near miss with a roe deer on my drive to work this morning....I think my car can do 60 to O quicker that it can do 0 to 60

In a well protected box and not on a bar pole behind the Landy Paul...I hope

Getting a new HP Elitebook 8470P laptop at work yesterday...last one was five years old and well past sell by date

I saw one of these models at Freuchie Paul and the detail and build quality is amazing Paul
