Well hadnt seen hide nor hair of big sis or my niece .. tho id seen on her facebook page she'd split up from her fella and moving back home .. the same weekend she was supposed to be decorating my living room .. as this meant moving two kittens back to her mums ... and her mum saying 3 days beforehand that she was not getting any more cats .. at one stage she had 6 cats and a golden labrador .. and now she was down to 3 ... now its gone back up to 5 with the 2 that her daughter brought home .. Then my other sis said i'll bring up the paint and my not so little nephew to help... i'll drop him off on monday on my way to work. So i now had help which i was ever so grateful for. I now had someone to shift that great big cabinet .. the one that...

but ive been busy lately ... and its been driving me nuts .. and as im now sat here watching paint dry ... i'll update this!!!

Ive had great fun this last few weeks .. This has been going on for the last couple of years .. you should decorate in here jen .. its looking tired .. it needs updating .. make this your own house rather than mums .. in otherwords .. the living room .. green walls and white ceiling .. my mums colours .. she chose em .... and yes i knew it needed doing .. but it was just easier to leave it .. Anyway one of my sisters had just decorated her house .. and she said i'll donate the paint whats left over and we'll do it. T'other sister .. get cleared out .. and i'll come and help with my niece .....

Anyway with the bad weather there was something on telly saying birds were having a bad time .. and i took pity on them .. and got the nets from down accy and stuck em on the washing line poles. I put one up of seeds and one of nuts and left them to it. The nuts seemed to disappear like nobodies business and had to keep replacing them. But the seeds one were never...

have put this as part 4 .. because i tried to upload the rest of the photos into the gallery .. and it wouldnt let me ... instead of uploading 20 it only put 5 in .. so im stuck .. so i'll have words with mick later ..

Anyway these pics are of edinburgh castle and walking thro edinburgh afterwards ...

Was meeting up with my neighbour back in lanark about 12 midday .. This meant having to be up .. in Glasgow Central train station for 11am - to catch the train to lanark.

So for a change was up and about early .. train from falkirk to glasgow queen st ..walk across to central .. and catch the train. Spugs was coming with me .. all the way to lanark .. not just glasgow .. which as it turned out was a good thing!!!

Spugs treated me to a latte from costa in the train station .. we found were the train was going from ... the underpass .. and so off we headed down the stairs and through the subway .. and i dropped the coffee ... all over the floor .. no time to go back upstairs to get another one .. spugs still had...
