Gyms, Hills & Snowmen...

Well quite a busy day today. Got up at the unearthly hour of 5 am and popped off to the gym, early usually means quiet at the gym, or as today....bloody empty. Seems there was only the one early morning fool today..ME.
Called round mams and as expected, little 'monster' called on the 'monster mobile'. Could she come round rather than go shopping?. No probs, so off home I went, to be greeted by a half finished snowman on the front lawn. Can't kids be quick when they want to be.
"Oy, watch the hair" Monster attack

Cheeky attack. Revenge can be so sweet.

Snowman finished, the next demand was to be taken sledging.
The local burn area was quiet actually, I half expected the usual throng of mini yobs, but no..monster and I had the hill to ourselves, well apart from the three youngsters and the bin bags. Bin bags, tut tut....we had the new super dooper 'monster' sledge, with yellow brakes fitted may I add.

Let's get ready to rumble

The bowl of hot soup was most welcome after all the drama on the slope, well hill anyway. But another man of snow was to be created in the flippin back garden before the mini beast went home.

The airport run went ok last night, Freezing fog, and more to the point freezing windscreen washer jets. Therefore the run up the A1 to Newcastle was made peeking through a rather mucky windscreen, till we got parked up at the airport and the jets thawed out. The holiday makers had a rather wet and dull time in Lanzarote, but still, as long as they're home safely.

Oh, the masterpieces....

.........and the back one
