Got up at 6 as had a list of food we needed for Christmas Day running through my mind. List done, now getting the courage up to go to Aldi !

A Kalkhoff Camaro. Wheels are like spaghetti, and the tyres probably shot, but...

That would make a good restoration project or a good fixed conversion.

Garden birds have been fed
They are all a bit slow in arriving today

Lost in the mist, I reckon. None here on the Hamtun feeding station at the moment.

Morning .
Is that the time ?
We are heading back Sarf today !
I will put some more petrol in the Jag before we set off as it seems a bit cheaper up here .
It is grey here . The past couple of days have been nice and sunny . Could be a good thing though as one year we did the return journey into the blazing sun when the motorway had been gritted . The spray from the road was covering the windscreens and people were running out of screen wash. Even the service stations ran out !

Watches can be worn as a type of jewelry. Some aren't very bulky and are easy to use by just lift an arm .
I was also surprised to see how much some have gone up by according to the bay . I just wondered what a Bulova Combitron were going for . There are 2 on the bay both working but one has all the documents and original case , price £600 , the other £500. Mine isn't working, I tried a different battery in it and the LCD display flicked through fast . It has a lovely flexible original Bulova metal.bracelet. I bought it at a boot sale some years ago for £1. Must be worth a bit more now !

The scaffolding has gone. And the workers have knocked off for Christmas. It's rather peaceful.

Dry morning so far and the nearest we have had to a sunrise for a while but looks like showers later.

A85 shut again due to an artic on it's side blocking the road.

Calmac doing their usual by ending out warning text messages at 0545 regarding possible disruption due to a "technical issue".
This really means broken down again but send out more messages 15 minutes later saying they have fixed the problem.
Then when people have relaxed again they send out a message about a cancellation but for January 16th due to livestock sales in Tiree.
Sometimes it all seems doom and gloom.

Finished work for two weeks but the weather has typically changed today from last night's forecast, light drizzle with now heavy rain expected and then turning dry. Just replaced a blind, why are the fittings always different?

May get to -12 C overnight. Oh, and a blizzard.

Thank you @tom73 for your detailed reply yesterday evening.

The BBC did not need to say anything about the Army drivers not using Blue and Twos, as you say it was not relevant. Also they over-simplified the Categories.

What a manic morning anyone would think it's the end of the world tomorrow
