Reasons to be cheerful

What do you get if you cross one of these


with one of these?

Answer..........


A MAZDA MX5!!!!



Yes, amongst other things the credit crunch has hit the House of Highland Madness. Hot-Hubby and I have combined our toys into one little bundle of joy. Yes, I was very sad to see my little Moggy go but it was time to part company. She had to come out of her cosy little garage to sit in the elements when the extension started and she didn't like it. Not even a little bit. We have had a lot of fun over the eight years we've had her (yes her - Beatrice) but a new era has dawned and it's more "VROOOM" than "Parp Parp".

The MX5 will be arriving shortly and no doubt you will hear all about it in a future post as we plan our highspeed adventures around the Highlands and beyond.

Now, you would have thought that was reason enough to put a smile on my face but we have another. I'm so excited - it's such an embarrasement of riches - but we - Hot-hubs and me, no kids, dog or birds, are getting away for not one, not two but FOUR nights!! Can you beleive it?? Mind, the planning, favours called and owed and down right sculduggery that has forgone this adventure we'll need it. And we have a reason for this indulgence other than all the really good excuses I could give in that my very best friend of over 20 years, she who introduced me to Hot-hubby, is getting married at the other end of the island. We're flyig down and hiring a car so we can make the most of our time. I just hope we're busy enough so we don't have time to miss our girls - two nights away (Dad's wedding last year) was bad enough, not really sure how I'll be after four but I'm looking forward to all my adventure time and glossing over the issue.

Full report to follow the event....well that of course depends on what happens....it might be edited highlights!!

Hope you have a great time. Will the girls be in respite?

Oh yes. Scrumpy and Bear will be having an even better time than Hot-Hubby and me! It's a guilt free trip in that way, they just love going to respite, to the point that I wish they didn't like going quite that much! ;D

Have a great time! Well deserved I'm sure.

BTW, you managed to catch me in the one hour lunch break between the time I started posting "Romance and the Red Sox" and the time I finished posting. I had to repost everything, and in deleting the old posts I deleted your comment too, but not intentionally! Anyway, hope you like.
