Morning, Fair Chuffed. There was a wee packet waiting for me when I got home from the pool, Regan spotted these Tea Towels and bought a couple then posted them to me. I love them and I’ll use one and put the other up on the wall I think.

Morning, Bit chilly this morning but it’s supposed to be the start of getting a bit warmer. Going to do a bit of a tidy up in the garden tubs this afternoon, after I catch up with the washing and a few other things.
I see there’s been a fresh fall of snow over on Orkney…Yuck.

Some news about a Scot for a change …no mention of the weather or the RF!
More Scottish news but not so good!!!
People in Scotland are spending a greater proportion of their life in poor health than in previous years, new figures from the National Records of Scotland (NRS) , external show.
The latest figures for the 2022 to 2024 period shows healthy life expectancy is now 59.1 years for men and 59.4 years for women.
Healthy life expectancy, which is the number of years a person can expect to live in good health, has been falling since the mid-2010s for both men and women. Life expectancy has seen a small increase in recent years, however.
The NRS said people living in some of Scotland’s most deprived communities were more likely to live in poor health than those in the least deprived areas.
The figures show women have lost almost four years of healthy life expectancy and men have lost three years since 2014 to 2016.
The figures are based on answers to a national survey where respondents rate their health as very good or good rather than fair, bad or very bad.

Just a wee snippet from Scotlands newspapers about Nessie the monster in Loch Ness …NOT the 2 legged monsters who live in Norfolk or the Whitehouse!!
tens of thousands of visitors descend on Loch Ness each year, hoping for a glimpse of the loch’s elusive monster.
The mystery is all part of the fun and the loch will be under more scrutiny than ever this weekend as more than 50 Nessie enthusiasts from across the world take part in a major spotting exercise.
They will scan the waters from strategic points, logging any sightings, as part of a hunt to mark 90 years since the first organised expedition to try to track down the famous creature.
Paul Nixon from The Loch Ness Centre told STV News: “They should document any sightings – time of day, where it is, what they think they are looking at and of course any photographs they capture.
“This will be uploaded to our database at the centre where our team of experts will analyse them and answer – or not answer – what it is they are looking at.
Oops.forgot to say good morning Folks,it’s a miserable wet one here which suits My mood…Arthritic joints playing up and making Me a crabbit auld git…Hope I don’t get any visitors 
Morning, It’s not too bad at the moment but I don’t think the rains far away. Just catching up with housework today then maybe my jigsaws and audio book for a while this afternoon.
