We're back

The sabbatical is over, we're/he's back. Point of order - it's Christmas. With the season of Christ Mass devoted solely to presents for Luca (ignore those myths about the birth of Jesus, and the season of giving), the short chap has very helpfully scoured the shelves of "Toys R Us" to assist in this years choices. Spoilt child ahoy:-



"Thundercats" sword. Yes, another toy from my childhood has been recycled for the ever demanding Generation Z.





Any cars. The bigger the better. Natch.....










Dragons will be popular too. Rather apt the attire atop his head makes him resemble a knight from the middle ages on a quest to battle the dragon to impress fair lady.










Even Luca knows he's pushing it somewhat here.










Lego. You can never go wrong with Lego.














He'd run out of imagination by this juncture. Yes, that's more Lego.




Does anyone else remember the days when a tangerine in your Dad's sock on Christmas Day was considered a treat? Bah and indeed Humbug.




A mere wisp of a blog today. Much like the attempts to start my car on these rather finger numbing winter mornings, it's advisable to start slowly before building toward any degree of normal practice. With this in mind, please vote on today's poll for your preferred subjects of perusal.




**Useless fact of the day - The coldest temperature recorded in Antarctica was -129 F. In Scotland we call that Spring**
