Thanks, all. It was a long few months, but we're almost out of the pit and things are slowly starting to look up!

Well, folks, here I am! I disappeared for quite a while there, eh? Long story short, here is the timeline: Younger sister in law moves in with us. Family drama and major financial drain. Some personal difficulties. She finally gets a job and we help her find a place to move to. She gets fired...

Seems like I'm one of the few who didn't think that three minutes was too long to stick with. I liked the advert a lot and thought they got the message across really well. Thanks for sharing.

I'm sorry, man. I really feel for you. I hope things start to look up for your family, soon. Whatever blessings I have to send, they're on their way to you.

I love it. Bit of a Dandy myself though more of the outdoorsy 'Pedestrianism and Pugilism' type. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Thanks, all. It has been a really rough time and it was nice to get above water and see so many good folk waving! Hopefully things will start looking really rosy pretty soon but for now I am just glad to be getting some stuff done around here!

It has been an intense few months. Every time I think things are about to calm down they get even crazier. Suffice it to say that after a bad bout of bronchitis, money issues, family issues and having my incredibly stubborn tooth surgically extracted I think it can't get much busier and I hope...

I'm in!

Finally, I have a spare second to post the last of the bombs!!! (If you're wondering what's been taking up all my time, it's been working 9 hour days with a 20 mile round trip to work and then coming home to take care of these ladies.) Here are the snaps of the awesome things I got...

BH, I'm sorry to hear that. We recently lost the dog I had to leave at home in Scotland and it was heartbreaking even though he'd been with another family for a few years. I feel your pain. Greyson, That is quite the surprise package! Lucky you!

You lucky so and so! Hope you get to enjoy those boots for many years. One day, when I'm rich, I'd like some of their loggers and some of the brown brogue rangers. At the moment I wear doc martens since they last me and fit well but I'd love to get some bespoke boots at some point.

Mine is out for delivery, too. I am excited to see further explosions this day!

The bomb is headed towards the target. I am excited to see the results.

Well, I got some more lovelies but I've been super busy so I will post them tonight. Thank you all so much.

I'm loving the sound of this. It's going on the Christmas list for sure.

You know, we watch tv but it's so rarely that it's covered in dusty between viewings. We de the computer to watch bbc stuff I miss but mostly we're readers and Bbc radio 4 / NPR listeners. When my little sister in law has loud daytime tv on it's kind of overwhelming. I think what bothers me...

This promises to be a massacre of the highest order. And for me it's a payback mission.

Alright. My aircraft is repaired and after my hiatus I am ready for active duty again. Looking forward to it!

I am indeed. Very comfortable for fishing in. I even have a sporran with a sheepskin front which is perfect for holding flies.

I'm a rank amateur but I love to do it. My wife grew up fly-fishing and tying her own flies. She's been teaching me but I have A LONG way to go. This is me fighting with a tiny wee but very feisty fish back home on the Whitecart river.
