I'm getting fed up with this cold weather while the rest of the country is sweltering! It's not fair. But I think it's about to come right tomorrow, and that wind from the North Sea goes away.

Archie and I went round the Links, with my duffle coat forced into service again. We were both really interested in this tree. On different levels.

JR took Archie out in the afternoon, while I began to catch up with my blip mates, whom I have sadly neglected of late. Apologies all. Thank you for looking in and leaving a wee star so that I know you’ve been.

Bit of an accident with my coffee - I spilt it on the table, and some of it went into the only possible hole on my iPad the charging one. Now it's refusing to charge, so I need to dry it out a bit. And the cable that I first used has also conked out.

Will continue with 'The Americans' this evening. It is very good - we're still in Series 1 and there are 6!

If the sun doesn't shine warmly tomorrow I'm not getting up.
