Mundane News

Dry sunny day so far and -0.5C when I got up. A light dusting of snow on the Morvern hills but none lying here.
Not a day to be out on the road tho' as the main road down to Craignure is reported to be a sheet of ice in parts and my main trike route is higher and being a minor road unlikely to be gritted.
A gritter went past here yesterday afternoon but heard nothing passing this morning. The council had a policy at one time of not gritting at weekends but no idea what they do now.
My garden path looks ok but it can be treacherous with ice and I will need to get the salt out handy.

Waiting for the snow to stop falling so I can feed the birds.

It's completely cloudless here but there can't be much warmth in the sun because the temp has only just climbed to 2 degrees C. I'm going to wrap up warm and walk to the supermarket because I'm out of fresh bread.

Snowing here, hence, fire lit.

Dog is crying at the lounge door, should I let her in to warm herself by the fire?

Yes.

It's trying desperately to be sunny here chez Casa Reynard, but it's not succeeding terribly well at it. T'is also cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.

Anyways, last night's shopping is all put away in the utility room. Other than the chilled stuff, I left the lot in the car overnight. Although given how cold it was, I could've left the whole shebang in there without any issues.

I can see a few downed branches when looking out of the windows, so I shall go out later and hinvestigate.

The reality of buying 3.6kg of tangerines last night is sinking in.

I may be making marmalade.

Anyways, luncheon calls.

What, no McGravity kilt?

No, my grandfather's mother's side were Dillons, and his father's side were descended from the Kennedys. Not my surname, though. All part of the tangled and confused American genealogy.
