Christmas joy

Evening peeps,  how is everyone doing, hope no one gas been caught up in the terrible flooding that has been occurring across the country.  Our road was closed for a couple of days and luckily the water didn't creep anywhere never the house.  I have just been caught up in the commuter traffic with the Forth Road Bridge being closed, what usually is an half hour journey is turning into an over an hour journey.  But hey-ho, can't complain, I just get to sing like a wailing cat in the cat for longer...lol.
