Recommended Posts

Got up this morning to do an early shop in M&S for Xmas food. Managed to get the car to the main road but the hill down to Falkirk is a nightmare.

Havent seen the main street completely white for a few year now, its nice :)

Ill leave it a few hours and see if Mr Plow helps out. Fortunately Ive got most of the food required. Just need asparagus and a selection of different meats for snaks later on. :D

I did most of my Xmas food shopping yesterday at 6am. It was great the place was empty :)

Just watching a clown across the road trying to move his car at about 4000 revs in 1st gear, hope he doesn't get out if that's the standard of his driving, my streets like driving on pack ice but you can drive if you know what you're doing.

Update.

My wife has phoned to say her meeting is cancelled and she's coming home.

Edinburgh folk must be the biggest wimps on this planet.

Ayr was fine, the surrounding villages were fair to hellish, went home when the temperature dropped, 2 degrees of a difference at the top of the hill at Templehouse to the bottom on the road to Tar-b.

Fortunately I didn't need to go near Killie or that stretch of the A77, treacherous conditions at times last night.

Everyone should remember, It's better to be 20 minutes late in this life than 20 years early in the next life.

Cumnock was shut! Mauchline was just as bad. I just didn't go in.
