I noticed you mentioned switching the kettle on, then nothing. Never asked if I wanted a cuppa.

Lovely sunny day and could be quite warm except for a bitterly cold wind.
Too sunny to go out on my usual trike route as drivers are blinded on sections of the road. Not going anywhere different as the wind chill on my usual alternative route would be even worse.
Lumps of snow still lying around are solid ice now and when my green bin gets emptied I will not be able to get it in it's normal spot unless we have a bit more thaw before Monday.
Early boat today cancelled for " operational reasons". I rather suspect they have no bookings for cars and too early for foot traffic. Who would want to be in Oban at 07.30 on a Saturday morning in winter?
I was once ejected from a well known cafe for having the cheek to ask for breakfast at about nine o'clock. Far too early and I was a bit annoyed as I had passed the Little Chef at Tyndrum which was open.

Been sitting with my right wrist elevated and hoping and praying it’s only sprained but suspect a fracture. There was ice under the snow. I saved myself a couple of times but third time unlucky and went down with a thump. It’s sore and a bit swollen. No way I want to go near hospitals just now. I’ll keep popping painkillers and keep it elevated and immobile as much as possible and see how it goes. Not easy on your own when it’s your dominant hand.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

Hope it’s just bruising/ sprain, are you using an ice pack or bag of frozen peas as well .

Really sorry to hear that.
Hate to say I told you so but
.Re hospitals......from what I read A&E are very safe to visit as a) most people are shying away and b) A&E are being super careful.
Keep us up to date.
