What a wonderful evening 🌝

Hebrew and Greek exams are now done. I can finally switch off my brain for a while after 12 weeks of intense study. Plenty of time to enjoy Christmas food and movies. 📽️🎄

It is officially Christmas season. 🎅🏻🎄☃️🎁

Happy First Sunday of Advent! 🙏🏻

Happy St. Andrew's day 😁

Not a fan of the colder weather ☁️🌡️

Someone is after something 🐕🐶

It's that time of year again 🔥

Greek translation work and F1 qualifying. I know how to spend a Saturday night!

It is proving to be a challenging, yet rewarding semester.

Lots of balloons today, which means I must have reached 44. Grateful for each and every day, such an incredible blessing! 🙏🏻🎁🎂🎉

Sometimes I need to pinch myself to ensure I'm not dreaming about living here. 🛶🌊🏖️☀️

After serving schools IT for over 20 years, I have taken on a new challenge supporting the corporate side. Very sad to be leaving familiar friends and faces, but excited about the new challenges ahead. 💻🖥️⌨️🖱️

Happiness has returned 🐶🐕🐾

After an emergency trip to the vet a few days ago, my little friend is getting back to normal again. 🐕🐶🐾

Peaceful moments

Mondays really aren't that bad after all.

As rewarding as supporting the IT needs of the schools here are, the views en route make it even more worthwhile.

A productive morning tidying up the data cabinet in Sgoil na Pairc in preparation for their equipment upgrade.

My sous-chef never misses a shift.

A good day to be up at 5am.

A splendid day for a walk. 🙂

I spent a year gaining the required qualifications to enter my degree course, and did so without fuss. People should be there on merit. www.thetimes.com/article/776e...

For anyone complaining about their IT support, please keep this in mind. I drove for two hours today just to push one button I was assured had not been touched. 😭

It is that kind of evening. 🔥

I have managed to accumulate 3 of these in my fridge, so that is my weekend eating sorted. They will pair beautifully with this 10 year old single malt I was gifted at Christmas time. 🍽️🥃

I've been after one of these for years now, so I decided enough was enough and finally ordered it. 📕

Home alone so I decided to treat myself to some duck from the local butcher.

My non theology books for the next few months, to keep my brain from getting theologically frazzled.

I am more than happy with my Christmas theology book haul.

It was quite the sunrise today. The mainland hills of Scotland were lit up beautifully on the horizon.
