Remained dry all day but cold and cloudy so just mooched about.
Went up to my top shed/workshop to get some bits to repair my bread bin lid hinges but never got round to actually fixing it yet. It is held together with a bit of wire so can wait till I get in the mood to do something.
Forecasters are threatening snow for Christmas Day and Boxing Day but hopefully will clear off by Wednesday. I used to drive in some pretty dire conditions with no problems but not so keen nowadays.
Seems to be windy further south as Calmac say our bigger ferry has to berth stern first which causes delays as they turn as much traffic as possible on the car deck rather than having them reverse on or off as far too many cannot reverse.
I once had to reverse our motorhome about 100 yards down a ramp with a right angle bend at the end into the car deck with about 6 inches clearance on both sides on the actual car deck.
This was well after midnight at Kirkwall en route to Shetland.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand relax...
Just fed the cats. Bread for a friend's Xmas pressie is shaped and proving, last cards have been delivered in the company of max the MTB (it had stopped raining, but the road is just a sea of mud and loose gravel), cranberry sauce prepped and ready to cook, wood bins in the house filled to the brim as I won't have the time tomorrow and space made in the fridge in the utility room.
Just put the soup on to warm.

I have no mince pies left. 
I've been to see a gospel choir sing Christmas carols for the past two hours or so. I was given sausage rolls, hot mince pies and some sort of hot punch stuff. I had the option of alcoholic or non-alcoholic versions so selected alcoholic as I had walked to the hall. 
No idea what was in it but it was dynamite and did a wonderful job of clearing my sluggish sinuses.
I could have stayed and watched a showing of some old Christmas films but I couldn't be bothered.

Thats good then, if you'd been town side you wouldn't have been popular. I once saw an Artic driver trying to get under that bridge from the town side, moving at walking pace hanging out of the cab watching the gap between the waggon and the bridge, he just made it, only just though, it was awfully tight.
