Considering Olusanya is on his own most of the time he's done reasonably well. 

Ffs

Yes that's what I meant. 

Brightened up a while ago so I took the opportunity to take big dog out for a walk.
Lots of puddles but nothing topping them up and quite mild.
This seems to be a fact as the BBC reported this area, for December, had three times as much rain as normal. 

Back to dark and pishing doon.
Had a good sleep last night, catching up on the night before.
Today is the day the Christmas decorations come down which means I'll be up and down to the attic. 🙄

Happy New Year everyone, hope 2024 brings you all good health, prosperity and more Saints wins than defeats.

Happy New Year everyone, hope 2024 brings you all good health, prosperity and more Saints wins than defeats.

And so 2023 ends. (For Saints, on a happy note too).
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL ON THE FORUM. AND I DO MEAN ALL!

Cracking morning for the first day of 2024.
Clear, dry and not a puff of wind.
Last night was decent, chilly but dry.
Plenty of fireworks, a bit of music, plenty of laughs and a few drinks.
Not too late, just after 2:00am, that was enough.
Quiet day today, bit of darts, probably a nap required, unfortunately the dogs don't have a longer sleep after a late night. 

Am supposed to be working until 5 on Tuesday but I think my boss will find that it is 16:55 that I clock off 😉

Glad you enjoyed it mate and your plans all came good, let's hope the Toon pull off another minor miracle tomorrow as well. All the best for 2024.

Not long back. After much uncertainty everything fell into place. Trains ran, game was on and I got to see the lesser spotted saints away win. Even rarer at Pittodrie by all accounts. My heart did sink for a moment when the Aberdeen fan on the train near me told his mates there would be an 11 am pitch inspection. We were due to get off at 11.05. I e-mailed afc and they swiftly replied to say pitch was fine and game good to go....and relax! Both team and support were fantastic yesterday. A bit like Newcastle it's like being on one big rollercoaster ride. Got out for a good few pints in Aberdeen last night and enjoyed them despite having to run from bar to bar to try, in vain to dodge the incessant rain. Breakfast was funny when one or two Aberdeen fans were moaning this morning 😃. A good end to 2023. All the best for the NY everyone. COYS and Howay the Toon.

We have a great group of guys all fighting for each other and giving 100%. Yes we will slip up and go through tough patches but if we can repeat our overall performance over the second half of the season we can land that European place ……………. given where we have been before Robbo came in, just let that sink in !
COYS !!!

Cracking day to end the year when, overall, the weathers been really poor.
A crap summer followed by the wettest winter I can remember since I moved from Paisley. 🙄
 

As the year comes to an end and we've had some of the best league football for many a year I'd like to wish all St Mirren supporters a very Happy New Year and hope the club continues to go ftom strength to strength.

Not really interested in The Voice but Liv, one of the winners is the daughter of one of my colleagues, she'll be so chuffed.

Gutted
For our last game, I put a fiver on O'Hara and Kiltie to score. Separate bets. Would have won over £60... but neither scored.
Was too busy to bet yesterday... Both scored!
 
My last bet?
A fiver on O'Hara to score the game he missed the spot kick.
I'm cursed. 🤐😜

Cheers. 
We're looking at Carnoustie to start with.
If it all goes wrong we can get a taxi home. 
Kidding apart, aye, we'll be using proper sites for a while before getting braver and going off-grid.
 

Moffat is nice and has a good site I believe, easy drive too with it being just off the M74.

Not a bad morning, a tad misty but the rain's off.
Mrs Faraway will be busy getting the garden room organised for tonight's festivities so I'm on dog walking duty.
That apart, just keep my head down, a bit of fitba at 2:00, maybe a nap as it'll be a late night. 

As we'll be picking up the motorhome sometime in January we'll be trying a few locations in Scotland in 2024.
We're planning a few close by to let us get used to the whole motorhome experience, and then we'll venture further afield. 
It'll take a wee bit of time to get used to driving the larger vehicle.
