Your link made me laugh Alea. I'm going to send it to my cousin who has rescue greyhounds. 
i have just made some hot cross buns only what was supposed to be the mixture that made the cross has just sunk into the buns.
Here you go . They could do with a bit more cinnamon and slightly less baking but very nice get the butter ready to spread.
Alea Brilliant! Thank you for sharing.
I'm about to add MacSporran's breakfast time image of the islands. It remains a beautiful day. I also feel very much better than I have done all week. I shall have a large G&T at six o'clock sharp.
I shall also toast you lot and thank you for your company.
Until tomorrow...(hugs) and 
Nellie our posts crossed. By gum, those buns look good enough to eat. I swear that I can smell the cinnamon from here. 
Love that Alea, that's one smart dog!
Not been feeling great today, nausea and bad head, but my next door neighbour popped round this afternoon with a bunch of daffs for me! Wasn't that nice of him?
Those buns look good Nellie, if I could have one with lots of butter, I'm sure I'd feel better! 
Morning all !
I happen to have some chocolate croissants gently warming and decent coffee brewing if anyone is about
soop I showed my husband the morning photo from MacSporran and he just said 'Wow' . ( He's a man of little words {grin})
It's a beauty , the misty colours make me want to decorate something !!
As its Leap Year Day we are throwing chores and caution to the wind and after breakfast we're going out - who knows where !! After all it's a 'spare' day - seems a shame to waste it.
Many moons ago when I was a Girl Guide, after Church Parade on sunday we used to go on a left/right hike. It involved getting a bus to the top of Portsdown Hill and then walking taking a left turn first and then a right , including footpaths.
Great excitement on the mystery of that at the age of 12 - maybe we'll try it in the car today but I suspect we would end up in someone's drive !
Have a lovely day all , turn the oven off when you've finished the croissants please !
Just don't end up going the wrong way up a one way street!
A happy good afternoon to our Granspal Kitcheners. How lovely it is to have your company.
Fresh coffee and chocolate croissants. I don't mind if I do. How thoughtful of you NanaandG Your idea for the extra day outing sounds very sensible. We'll be going to Oban tomorrow (for MacS's CT scan)...we shall therefore treat ourselves to fish, chips and mushy peas after his appointment. Oban is a delightful small town. The restaurant that we may visit is on the harbour-side.
Badenkate The cough that you are suffering with is a very nasty thing. So many folk in the village have the same bug. Relax and stay cosy.
As for the dog hair nest-liner...what a very sensible idea. A discerning bird's starter home...
Charleyg Tara is a busy girl. You would not get Rory to stay out for longer than a few minutes (unless he's watching MacSporran in the garden. Rory, like Tara, prefers to use his litter tray.
Lona you may have picked up the vomiting virus. It is horrid for the time it takes to move through the system. Drink plenty of fluids. It will pass in a day or so.
Nellie I've painted just four pictures of children. One was of bag's grandson. One for Marmite and two of our youngest grandson.
Has Grace opened her eyes yet?
Well maybe in the sense that the lights are on, but there's nobody at home
Just to prove she sometimes lies somewhere else!!
Good luck for MacS tomorrow soop 
Yeah right soop a small glass of red wine and if you don't make it into the Kitchen, it couldn't possibly be because you are having a little post-prandial and post-red wine nap, could it??
