When we went out a 6.30am it was shall we take the car that lives outside or the one that lives in the garage.

Several reports on our local Facebook page saying there is black ice on stretches of the roads so I won't be rushing to take the car out until much later.

Its very misty here. I won't be going far today.

Not in Livingstone!

As far as I remember there was a pool in Livingston, Scotland. We stopped there once with the kids on our travels. Dreadful place. It was full of screaming kids and the noise levels were incredible due to the roof being some sort of plastic which magnified every sound.

They've build The Wave at the bottom of New Union Street to replace it, but the building is still there, its listed I think so there's not a lot they can do with it.

They could have an accidental fire in the middle of the night which would soon sort out the listed problem. It happens.

Sunny at the moment but showers expected. Temp outside is 3C but there are reports on FB of dangerous ice about 8 miles away. Last shop done before the " holidays " and not many around at 8 o'clock. Just as well I did not bother yesterday as the lorry broke down soon after getting off the ferry. Fortunately the bus company has a garage with a full time mechanic so he came out and fixed it but late in arrival here and several ferries cancelled compounding the problem. Probably lots of panic buying later.

Good morning all. Going to Barnstaple hospital later to sort out paper work for Welsh Hospital for my wife, then light shopping and back home for another exciting day doing nothing. My wife said before that they are beginning to inoculate the vaccine in care homes in North Wales so it shouldn't be too long before our turn comes.

Have done the cleaning and put the bin out. As exciting as my day (week ?) is going to get.

Went to Aldi and Morrisons and both were busy at around 7.00am.

No more shopping until next week.

Mountains are plastered in snow - looking lovely whenever the clouds have a break.
