The Year of the Pig!

Today we took Ruaridh down to the beach for the daily constitutional, first going down to the village shop to pick up the Guardian and some medium oatmeal. Forgot to mention in yesterday's Blog that we had run out of medium oatmeal to make the morning porridge with, found some pinhead meal and tried that. Uggh tasted awful, when Graham asked me how long we had the stuff couldn't remember, we worked out it must be at least 5 years old!!
Had a great walk on the beach, then lo and behold Ruaridh found a pigs head, we took him away from it, it was quite fresh and really symbolic as tomorrow the Chinese New Year starts and yes The Year of the Pig it is. The head looked very peaceful haven't a clue how it came to be there.
Did some gardening when we returned, Graham made a lovely minestrone soup with krispbreads, followed by tinned salmon sandwiches and salad.
Just listening to a programme about "The Small Faces" on Radio 2 good. Bye.
