Right hound time should be fun it’s white and crisp outside.

Deep and even?

I always associated it with TCP. Talisker is a fine Islay with a little less peatiness. Lagavulin is my favourite, really lush, but at over 50 quid a bottle, it's a little beyond my budget.

Talisker is on Skye.

When we were visiting our daughter in Edinburgh I was a little under the weather and she gave me a glass of whiskey. She’d purchased it from an Island distillery that she’d visited while waiting for her partner to finish his race. It was exceptionally nice, and I managed to finish most of the bottle over the course of our stay. I was going to replace it but when I looked online there was none available, the previous listed price being over £150 per bottle 😮

No e if it was Scottish. Whisky.

Settlers coming with a large lorry to Dervaig this morning where it is apparently raining heavily.
Their lorry however is stuck in snow on the mainland and in any case the roads to Dervaig are reported as being sheet ice and certainly not passable.
Here the Main St is reported as being black ice and I noticed my neighbour having difficulty getting his van to move off the slight slope he was parked on.
Temp is above freezing so there is a slight thaw which puts a film of water on top of the ice.
When I got up at about 0800 it was still pitch dark outside.

My daughter is out on a driving lesson as we speak. Not ideal conditions, but it's best she learns about these things. Last week she was driving with low sun, didn't like it, but better she experiences difficulties in winter than not to. All good experience.

Talisker is on Skye.

I visited the distillery once, many years ago and had a free sample.

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

I know. My old legs don't seem to work so well now after being plagued by back/sciatic issues so it was hard work lifting the knees higher to walk through the fresh snow. Enjoyed it though.

-7 brrrrr

There must be a weather change afoot as there are now spells of westerly wind and the ravens have come out to play.
They vanished during the cold spell.

Turning a bit milder by lunchtime I think.

Oops, silly me! Mind, I did spend a good part of yesterday thinking it was Friday.

@Andy in Germany hope you survived your training.
Your posts reminded me about I went on summer school when doing my teaching. The teacher leading our group used an idea she'd seen used. We had to write done on a post card 3 things we wanted to remember and names of other students we thought we like to contact later. The group was full of boring spoon fed students expect me and another from our normal group. The idea was they got posted a few weeks later to help you remember. I wrote things to remember: nothing. Names of students: none of them.

Talk of feed back reminded me of my lead tutor she'd started out doing community development training. So had very mixed groups one group she remembers. Had a bloke who every time they come back from lunch. He'd go on about no bananas. Come feed back form time
he'd simply put no bananas.

These adverts are getting serious now!

Means moving to either Manchester or London though.
