A Baking Day

Today could best be described as "Dreich", or in plain English, dull, wet, cold and miserable!  so what better to do than a little baking to warm the heart and stomach.

As seen below, the master baker and decorator Ellie!

Hockey

Great day at the hockey today, Ellie playing for the Primary 7 "B" team. They beat the Senior 1 "B" team 4-0. How about that for a result!  Some very happy P7's and certainly a very happy Ellie!!

Sailing at Peterhead

Great day sailing up at Peterhead today.  Somewhat frosty start, breaking the ice off the self bailers so we could open them to let the water out and a cover stiff with frost.  Definately a day for the drysuit and thermals.

Wind died altogether going out to the start, took 30 mins just to get the 400yards or so from the beech to the comittee boat.  After a patient wait, wind finally filled in (with plenty of holes to catch the unwary).  Had 3 good races, first one went well and should be well up there on handicap, not so sure about the second race and definately only managed third or fourth out of five in the third.  Great weather though and fantastic light.

Saturday Hockey

Isobel played in goal for the full game for the Robert Gordons S2 hockey first team today.  Result, RGC 5 - Aberdeen Grammar 0. Only complaint, the team are too good!  Isobel had to stand through an entire match and never even touched the ball!
