Today we are going Christmas shopping - there, I said it, the C word. What are you going to do about it.

Fortunately our preparations for 'the gifting season' go as far as visiting two shops, one that serves fantastic food and the other an independent chocolatier. No real hardship then.


Bon Voyage to our two Arctic bound explorers.

Which stuff did you buy?

The Yeeeeow Catnip Sardines are really good. Anything with valerian or silvervine works well too.

Many moons ago we had a tom cat, he would get high as a kite on nip, he rubbed it all over his face and would salivate by the bucket load, our carpet would look a right mess.

Mr Summerdays has done a proper check and no frost here. Looking at a local station it dropped to zero early yesterday evening but then rose to 2 deg for most of the night rather unusually (given no cloud cover).

It was -1.5°c at 5pm yesterday
Mind you, it didn't stop me wearing my sandals!

Morning.There s a lovely clear light blue sky with a pale yellowish horizon.

It looks like we've had a bit of a frost.

There was ice forming on the cars last night.

 

[Hill Wimp]

Just think I'm so close to a fellow birder in Mancland.

Wonder if he has the kettle on

 

[Speicher]

And we’re off!

590 miles to Fort William with enough wool to sink a Calmac ferry...

Don't they have any wool in the Hebrides?

No! Sandals went away ages ago... my toes were wrapped up in two pairs of socks yesterday
