Nippy out, with about 1" of snow (so far). I'm going to have a lazy day, I think, apart from a 3 mile walk with the 🐶.

You have had double what we have then

About 2” of snow here and grey skies

Not like a British van then !!!

Insulated for warmer climate but much better interior design than any other vans I have seen. We were never cold in it even in winter.
Important point so far as we were concerned it was just under 6 metres with bike rack folded. For transport bikes could go inside so rack only used on site. Ferry fares jumped markedly over 6M.

It was icy on this morning's walk. It's interesting that my plain black leather shoes with rubber soles are better in icy conditions than my trainers or my hiking boots.

Spectacular sky this morning but the photo I took does not show the colours properly so no point in putting it up.
Looked out at bedtime last night and snow had started but the wind has now come round to S so hopefully will thaw now and it is not snowing now either.
I noticed the gritter has not been past as it often wakes me about 0530 with the sound of a heavy engine and lots of flashing lights.
Reports of a gritter off the road on the road where I often cycle and the road is blocked so that may be why we have no gritting here.
A Menzies delivery van off the early ferry just pulled in behind my car and I was a bit nervous in case he could not stop. He did stop in time and the early arrival indicates the main road must be clear.

When ?

Georgie is having great fun running around in the snow . I went out to put some food on the bird feeders and he has been demonstrating what fun you can have . He pounces on imaginary animals hidden under the snow , you can eat grass ice lollies, he ran round getting into 4 paw drifts and kept coming up to me to brush up against me . He was having a great time !

No snow here, just icy and a little misty. Struggling to heat the conservatory today - didn't bother on Friday as it was very cold.

Whilst I was out in the garden I was looking to see if I could see any unusual tracks . I wish I had a pair of those shoes that kids wanted back in the 60's with the animal footprints in the soles and I think a compass in the heel . I just saw some bird tracks and enormous foot prints left by Georgie . Our mysterious visitor that comes into the garden and leaves large messages doesn't appear to have been out and about.
Our lodger seems to be eating well . It empties it's bowl and then goes back under the torn up newspaper .

Did you watch Strike last night
Found last nights episode a .bit ponderous .

I seemed to have dropped a sock en-route to the washing machine.

Our dog is ace at finding socks it's getting them back that's the problem

I would love a set of these

cpl inches of snow, cars were encrusted w/ ice when I checked them last night, dreading the morning warmup & our last cat is on his 3rd day w/o food. I think this week is it for him. Wifey is in denial & mad at me for saying so

Yes, I thought that. She usually looks lovely, and flamboyant. Horizontal stripes in shades of light brown will not suit anyone,
