Comics
Been up seeing Granny and Grandpa. This is the first we've made it up to see them since before the snow arrived in November. Granny had bought me a comic - I love it when she does that, she's so thoughtful. Thanks, Granny!

Yellowcraigs Beach
So, today it was Daddy's turn to insist we go out. A friend of mine came over in the morning and after lunch Daddy wanted to go to a beach and take some photos. He wanted to play with his new filter apparently so off we headed to Yellowcraigs Beach on the south side of Edinburgh. I got a nice long sleep on the way there - I knew there was no need for those long lies that Mummy and Daddy keep insisting I have!
When we arrived at the beach, Daddy got all setup to take his photo and I headed straight for the water with my wellies on. Within 2 minutes I was over the welly heads! And the temperature was 2 degrees! That put paid to Dad's plans!
But while he begun to pack up, I was already wet. I wasn't about to let a bit of sea water spoil a play in the sea - it could only improve upon it after all! So I continued to wade and jump waves and splash for a while while Mummy made friends with another Mummy who was there and Daddy got photos of me (they're always better than the ones he takes without me!). I lasted about 15 minutes and in that time got pretty soaked through. The kind friend of Mummy's helped to empty my wellies and wring out my socks afterwards before we headed back to the car. Mummy had even brought a change of clothes for me (but only slippers so I couldn't go out again).
Daddy says it was all worth it for the sleep I got and the photos he got for this blog post!

Beecraigs Geocaching
The holidays have been mostly spent indoors. Our plans to go north were scuppered by Mummy getting flu and Grandpa having a fall (get well soon, Grandpa!) and apparently there was no plan B. Luckily, Daddy has bought an XBox 360 so that's filled far too many an hour!
Today, Mummy is feeling a lot better and insisted we go out for a walk in the cold. So off to Beecraigs Loch we headed for a nice stroll and attempt to collect a geocache or two in the area. It didn't seem to matter how much I asked to go to the park at Beecraigs Country Park, The Folks were having none of it and just drove straight to the Loch for a walk with no swings, roundabouts or chutes.
The lack of park didn't matter in the end though. I had loads of fun. Mummy and me looked for lots of interesting things to bring home and the Loch was almost completely frozen over!
We did find one geocache. We were lucky as a few days ago it would have been completely covered in snow! There was a second cache but although we knew where it was, we couldn't find it. It's a tiny one and before we could track it down, some people approached. Geocaching is a secret game and you're not supposed to draw attention to caches so we left. We watched the people though and they were cachers too! They went straight to where we were looking and started looking for the cache too! We'll just have to get it next time we're there.
