Horse-whipped.

This was how Edinburgh looked as we flew in. In all these years of flying back and forward I have never seen it look as nice as it did on that day. Perfect timing ... it wasnt quit dark but all the street lights were coming on, snow everywhere. Yeah well, I got a bit trigger happy on the flight to Scotland, which you may or may not have already read about. I then enjoyed two weeks of deep snow, the like of I have not seen since I was a kid but will no doubt see again very soon as Europe is about to become one giant snowball apparently. 
So, moving on. As I predicted a few weeks ago, it is now January, which can only mean good thing. Things like this ... Phoenix over at Res Ipsa Loquitur gave this blog the "Kreativ Blogger" award the other day, which was as good a way to start the year as any I guess. I need to find somewhere to hang it. Phoenix dropped by a few weeks ago and left this wonderful post which I recommend you read before you jump over to check out her own blog which she fills with interesting and funny tales and happenings ... but please note that she has a first degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, so don't go giving her any grief.
I am now supposed to ten you ten interesting things about myself and then nominate another 10 bloggers ... thats going to go on a bit. So I will do that tomorrow :)
