Yes, the time between Christmas and new year is known as “the daft days” in Scotland. So who’s got something daft to share this Friday night?

    My daft of the day: the launderette in Wick doesn’t take card. And nobody had any change today in town, mad scramble to get some bedding cleaned!

    No idea what the weekend holds now. Probably some Worlds Strongest Man, Darts, and Royal Institue christmas lectures if I can get the 6 year auld interested. That’s all telly, oops, better do some leaves done an aww!

      Highland are now on three different bin collections. And two of them are the same colour!

      Nice wedding? I did a Christmas period one once, and it was great as so many folk were already off. It was a three day event!

            No pool or spa. A very traditional, older style hotel! Some baileys, prosecco, cheeky vimtos though!!

            I’ve been watching black doves and now on to the agency so all spy stuff!!
