I have cheerios.

I just made a careless error with a Sudoku. Once I've made a careless error I care less and make more mistakes. Not a good start to the day. Still, it gave the tea time to brew.

Windy by the sea.

 

[Mo1959]

We have snow

Here too. Better than the horrendous wind down south I think. Stay safe everyone.

Various items passing by in the street unattended

The forecast was for storms here too but it's very calm.

Morning.
It is grey an quite calm here at the moment .
The mouse saga has been sorted ! I thought that if it wasn't in the trap this morning then I would have had to take all of the books out of the shelves and unscrew it from the wall . Luckily the trap had worked and there was a mouse in it . We think it might be a Wood Mouse. It might even have been the one which ran up inside my trouser leg !
After it had a wash and had its photo taken I took it up the garden and released it near the hedges .

I think the Met Office are terrified of getting it wrong these days and maybe ramp the warnings up. Hopefully it won’t be as bad as predicted.

"Arnie the Mouse ! ".

I haven't seen a deer in the garden. I thought you got ticks by walking through long grass where deer have been.

What with adders, deer, mice, and ravens, the end of the garden is a dangerous place.

Ticks are often found on the tips of long grass but can be got on any vegetation. They can stay dormant for a long time till something comes along. There seems to have been a large increase in numbers in the last few years and some variations of Lyme Disease found previously only in mainland Europe had been found here.

Wet morning and the outside temp is showing 0.9C but no snow. Looking at the ferry terminal webcam there is sleety looking snow falling there and somebody has just posted that Glen Mhor is impassible but gives no reason. I guess snow.
There is not that much wind despite Calmac putting out warnings and the ferry is currently alongside the Craigure pier.
Just to update the assembly lines are empty so the ferry is ready to go at 0840.
