Now flying over the middle of Hudson Bay, far north Canada, on our way to Dublin, Ireland....then on to Edinburgh, Scotland....then driving to our new flat in Fort Augustus, Scotland.

Going to have a White Christmas ⛄

Yes the  joy of it.

Having Christmas lunch at Dennis's Sunday.  Forecast 36C.

And his house has no air-conditioning. 

Indian food so yum.

Travel well.

Having just returned from the land of Highland Cows, after long flights, and man my arms are tired from flapping for more than 7,700 kms....

I will greet you all with a really kewl Scottish saying, that originated during WWll....

Learn this, and remember it, as it will serve you well as we all grow older:

Musn't Grumble

Welcome back!  Glad you had a great time.  Hope everything worked out perfect.  Getting comfortable on the narrow roads yet?

Hold my keyboard and watch this! 🙃

NO....not comfortable with the narrow roads of the UK, and specifically in Scotland, and even worse in the Highlands of Scotland.

However, I have yet to hit any other vehicles. But to alleviate some of the stress, I am still buying a Subaru in Germany in mid February, and it will be used all over Europe. So it will be a left hand drive car, in the left lanes of the UK and Ireland, but in the right lanes in most of the rest of Europe.

Biggest news of the day...Boss Monkey RETIRED today, after 54 years of total working time. In all fairness, that included working since age 12, picking peas on a farm in upstate New York, but 50 years working in real income producing jobs, including the past 30+ years in her chosen field as an Epidemiologist, with a Ph.D.

Now, maybe SHE can start doing some of the cooking...(ha ha ha) Eat

That's awesome now you are just a couple retirees about to embark on the latest adventure and new discoveries =)

Delighted you enjoyed Scotland and the Highland Coos

No point in grumbling, nobody pays any attention anyway
