We go out along the shoreline and then cut inland to return home on the soft grass path that crosses the golf course. Two of the golf course groundsmen greet Sophie by name. Angus is ignored. At the clubhouse twenty or so bobble hatted Americans are milling about waiting to tee off. This morning its a jovial husbands and wives golfing group from Memphis - guess that makes them Memphians ? They too greet the family diva. Sophie is somewhat disappointed that not one of them has a stash of Jaffa Cakes to share with her.
Is this the answer to solar panels on listed buildings ? : https://techxplore.com/news/2022-12-disguising-solar-panels-ancient-roman.html
All the Christmas decorations are down and packed. This is a tedious job that's should be done with a tranquilizing glass ( or two ... or three ) of a good Pomerol . Next year Angus will get the tree down earlier before his dry January self denial kicks in. A call to the council refuse department to find out whether they can collect and recycle the tree. They arrange to be here on Monday morning. ' You'll need to cut it into two so that it'll go in the back of the truck' says the recycling man.

Thanks for the article on solar panels. This gives me hope. We live in a part of France where these curved tiles are the vernacular and flat solar panels look so wrong. I hope one day we will get our roof done. We could keep the entire village lit up!
Interesting article about the solar panels. I have traditional curved tiles on my villa, so too late now to change them. Sadly I shall have to make do with normal panels. My building is not old so they shouldn't look too much out of place.
New rule for all golfers visiting St. Andrews. No matter where they are from, they must always carry a packet of Jaffa cakes when playing the course. Just in case they happen to meet a certain shaggy PON!

Those PV tiles are a true innovation and more power (no pun intended) to that small company for such a big leap forward in aesthetics and purpose! YAM xx
Golfing in a 50 mile per hour wind, has to be challenging. It has been over 45 years since I last played golf.
Twelfth Night. Start Dry January at Epiphany.
Also, with all your walks are you doing Doddie Aid? North and Mislands needs all the help it can get.
The pictures of Sophie on the beach are pure delight; is there a more joyful sight than a happy dog? I trust there will be a noteworthy celebration later this week for Sophie’s 10th birthday. And her first birthday in Scotland! May it be a truly best day ever, spent with those who love her most and filled with adventures, long walks, and delicious treats. As always, dearest Bob is remembered and remains close to my heart. Stephanie in rainy Northern California
An epiphany at 15 ballots.
50th anniversary of Mott’s All the Way from Memphis, one of my favorites.
As a native born Memphian, I can assure you that you got the term right although I cannot imagine golfing in that cold wind.
Ta for the lovely Christmas music and always interesting links.
Sophie, tell your human to have his month of alcool abstinence on February in future (mine do). February is a shorter month. Paw smacks Mr T
