I sampled Laphroaig when I was in Ayrshire earlier this year to see what all the fuss is about and I did like it. I sampled a lot of whiskies during the trip, my memory may be a little hazy.

It's the 'seaweedy' note that defines the 'Islay' Malts, somewhat astrigent but very different.................you can tell it's made on a small island.

The pavements are really, really, slippery now as the snow mostly melted and has now frozen. You really do have to wonder why it's deemed essential to grit the roads several times per day but they never bother with the pavements. The council probably spend the budget on a fancy Christmas dinner for themselves or something.

I see the local chemist has Blue Stratos on a clearance sale offer. They've probably had it blocking up their stock room since 1971 and are fed up looking at it.

Oh! I used to use that !

Morning perambulation aborted on health and safety grounds. It is basically impossible to stand upright on the pavement and car drivers don't like people walking on their road.

Watching Question Time for the first time in years ... it's actually getting a bit interesting again, who would have thunk it?

Did an old lady in the audience get up and hit an MP with her brolly ?

Morning .
I have been out and put our bins out . It was cold !
I was working on the hotel again yesterday . I had to rummage around in my garage for some suitable wood . I salvaged some hinges off an old door so that we can lift the lid up for cleaning , putting in fresh food or bedding and to see if it had any visitors . I need to sort out some material for waterproofing the roof . Oh I also modified the plan I was using , I cut down the sides and back to make a sloping roof to allow water to run off.

Hardy bother with it not very interactive set questions and full of sound bites. When I do I watch it on iplayer easy to fast forward all the rubbish. To get to the best bit normal done within 5 mins.

A snowy walk can be nice but also can be hard work

Back from shopping..... I do wonder why I shop at Morrisons, they've become absolutely useless.

Oh, yes. I remember why, now, it's my festive 15% discount 😂
