A White Christmas
More snow overnight in Inverness meant the Zed family awoke to an official white Christmas.
It really was beautiful and from the window of our front room we could see beyond the Kessock Bridge and watch a pink sunrise colour the meringue-like mounds of Ben Wyvis.
A seven o'clock start - not bad compared to some of the middle-of-the night episodes we experienced when the Zedettes were much younger. I even had time to sip a coffee and listen to Ricky Ross and Cathy MacDonald co-hosting the Greetings Programme.
Then the mayhem began. Racal, our Lhasa Apso, was given a dog-chew Santa toy which he managed to shred within ten minutes. Well, that's what happens when you buy pet stuff in those pound shops..
Zed-son's haul of goodies included lots of video editing gear and DVDs and a radio control helicopter.
Zed-daughter was delighted with her new stock of make-up and clothes.
Mrs Zed got. among other things, a new DAB/FM radio for the kitchen which she didn't even know she needed.
Oh..and I got two bottles of delicious non-alcoholic wine. Almost three months off the booze now.
Hogmanay is going to be hard.
