After making rude hand gestures to Nicola from the comfort of our sitting room Laurence and I headed out to take out our frustrations in a more constructive manner. He was on his bike while I ran pushing B. This is the only way I can get out just now - by taking B with me. The running buggy is v tiring. He starts nursery in 2 weeks which is v sad but will help us manage the current totally unmanageable childcare / work / home schooling of miserable kids situation. You can totally tell Nicola is not a parent. She has no idea.

I am so tired. I am quite disilliusioned with work for many reasons too.

So an outing was much required, and we headed through the Hermitage to Fran's, then on through the Royal Hospital grounds to the links, down and through the meadows and home. Much better.

Zigzagging through Prestonfield GC in the snow. Quite hard work, esp as it must be a fairly marshy course when not covered in snow.

More xc skiing in the afternoon. Craigmillar GC skiing has been superb, and what a week to have as a half term!

Jaunt with WHB in the snow on Prestonfield and Arthurs seat. He was in trainers and I was in icebugs. He spent a lot of time on his arse. Fun though.

Sledging and xc skiing for hours at Craigmillar GC. Excellent xc skiing. Ray’s boots are held together with duct tape, which is not bad news for me as he can babysit while I ski.

Craigmillar GC winterlope. V wintry. Fun, if tough in the deep snow. Good to get the course done early as then I get fresh snow instead of following tracks, and I get to xc ski it tomorrow. Missed the small paths through the gorse in the snow so wasted time in the Blackford bit.

There and back
