Let’s not even try to summarise what a shitstorm 2016 was. And if I had to pick a word that I guess will be used a lot in 2017 I’d go for Kafkaesque. But anyway, did a long run today, this is ponty cemetery.

Christmastide
Pub dog
Was walking Bruno today when it started raining so we ducked into the pub
Taz
Here daughter and hockey chum pose with the Devils mascot, Taz. We beat Dundee 4-2 to go to the semi finals of the challenge cup
Creepy farmhouse
I’ve blipped this place before I think. I always expect a scary old person’s face to suddenly loom at the window
Rogue One
Daughter broke up from school today so we decided to go into town and see Rogue One. It was very enjoyable – after a summer of awful blockbusters this one got it right, and neither of us are massive Star Wars fans.
Plus – only £4!

Took Bruno up the forest for a quick walk today. Was probably lucky not to be made a sacrifice by mad druids.

Mystic lands
Long run this morning – there was cloud inversion in the valleys giving them a mystical feel
