Hi folks, last update of the year coming up!

We spent Christmas in the Highlands with my folks, unfortunately in the grip of a very heavy cold. But as ALCOHOL KILLS GERMS we thought it was only right to hit the pub and catch up with all my old mates. Any sore heads resulting were only due to the death throes of said cold bugs, right?

Have a look at this nativity scene in the window of the Highland Hospice charity shop. A great many of the mysteries of the Bible can be explained by the identity of Joseph.



Have a closer look:


Yes! It is a Tom Baker Dr Who dolly! Think about it...Jesus the son of a Time Lord!
How did Jesus return from the tomb after 3 days? Regeneration!
How did he bring back Lazarus from the dead? He reversed the polarity of the neutron flow.
And turning water into wine? Easy when you have a sonic screwdriver.

Other news...
Passed my German exams with a grade 2 (that's a B). Slightly galling not to do so well in the exam, as I got a distinction for my coursework. But now I have my Diploma i.e. a bit of paper that says I can speak German. Going to have some practice in the New Year as Taffboy and I are heading to Cologne, Berlin and Aachen for a wee holiday.

and finally....
We're engaged!

HAPPY HOGMANAY!
