After writing my blog last week we headed over to Leuchars for the annual Fireworks/Bonfire night which went with a bang!

 Then on Saturday we got up early and drove over to Lenzie as John and his girlfriend, Alison were up.  So we arrived around 10 and had a quick coffee with them before dashing off into Glasgow.  Lily & I went shopping whilst Dad, Nick & Tom went to the Science Museum.

 Lily and I got home in time for a late lunch and then we were able to relax for the afternoon before Nick & I got a taxi into Glasgow to attend the Rangers 70's Disco Charity Night.  We arrived in plenty of time to take advantage of the champagne reception in the VIP lounge before being escorted to the chairman's table to enjoy a lovely 4 course dinner with lots of wine:)

  The evening was great fun and the 70's disco after the meal was fabulous, the singers, The Soul Kings were brilliant, you couldn't get me off the dance floor

But all too soon it was time for our taxi home again and the evening was over.  Needless to say, we had a fairly slow start on Sunday, Mum made some bacon rolls for us before we drove back home to St Andrews and then poor Nick had his afternoon ruined by having to work (luckily from home, but it was still work) as a problem had arisen that needed some organising. 

This week Nick has been very busy and is looking forward to relaxing tonight and tomorrow before Sunday when he has to attend the memorial parade in town and lay a wreath for Remembrance Sunday.

Today I have been catching up with housework, I washed the outside of the bedroom windows (long overdue) cleaned the bathrooms, hoovered, tidied the understair cupboard and did a general tidy around the house before making my first batch of mince pies this year.

 They are a perfect one bite size mouthful and there are now only 8 left on the plate.  Oops.
I forgot to mention Lily's news last week.  For her birthday she got a knitting kit from Soma and made this frog (with some help from me).

 She then sent a photo of it off to Blue Peter in the hope of getting a Blue Peter badge and finally, some six months later a badge came through the post for her.  Boy, was she excited.

How cool is that?
