Wee Sleekit, couring, timorous beastie
Or a mouse, to anyone else! One came to visit our kitchen this week, ready for Burns' Night at the end of the week, but seems to have gone now. I was going to put a picture up, but I don't think I could stand looking at one again. I did the very typical girly thing, and ran through the house screaming in a very high-pitched voice, and left my lovely brave kind husband to sort it all out. He did see it as well, so I didn't just imagine it. He said it was just passing through. And our quartermaster says it's more scared of me than I am of it. Some less helpful comments were around the subject of usually seeing more than one at a time, and it could still be hiding. I don't think it likes peanut butter. One of my worst nightmares come true this week.

Life!
Well, it's been a pretty busy week! I was going to blog something well-thought out last week, but then everything got so busy, and time just ran away! One event that made me smile last week was the 'Senior Citizen's Treat', where the local ministers are the specially invited guests. Really no idea why, but there you go! We were sitting at the front of this hall, having our dinner, and then we had entertainment' in the form of the local big band, pipe band and ceilidh band. What strange things you get invited to! It made me think about the role of an officer I suppose, and how we're seen in the community. As blogged before, officership is a varied job, for sure. In the past week I've done 2 funerals, led 2 meetings in nursing homes, taken Ceitidh to toddlers twice, been to home league and over sixties, led 2 meetings and helped at Sunday School yesterday, as well as various phone calls, e-mails, cash books, etc. The funeral today was sad, as there was no family there at all. The bloke had a sister, but she couldn't get up here as she was ill. Oh, and now I'm playing 'nurse' to all the poorly people in my house, as well as keeping on top of 2 people's worth of diary events and programme!
So, the point of this post? I'm not sure, just to say that life's pretty hectic, and one of these days I'll post something deep and thoughtful lol

Snow!!
No, not in Wick, but we drove to find it on Thursday this week. We took Ben to Inverness for a holiday treat. We went round the shops in town first, and spent some money, then we drove south to the Cairngorms, and took a train ride to the top of the mountain. This is Ben & me at the top, feeling very, very cold!!
