House update

Still not much progress although the lot has had piles of
sand dumped on it which will eventually be compacted
and then dug out for the plumbing etc prior to pouring the slab.
As can be seen from the houses on either side of us it does
not take long to erect the shell of a house once the slab is there!

Reunited - albeit temporarily

Very smooth flights, slick connections, and success at getting a standby seat on the early flight to Corpus meant that I got to see my family again by 5.30 (11.30 UK time)

Daffodils

This morning there was a snow storm; this afternoon the sun came out; this evening I mowed the yard for the first time this season, carefully cutting around the spring flowers.

Springtime in Scotland

Just made it home a few seconds before an extremely heavy hail storm.
