Dreich Storm Bert

Storm Bert is proving to be rather dreich and miserable; it snowed during the night as predicted and has now turned to rain. However it’s nice and cosy in my study where I have been doing lots of admin and sorting things out. My mind has even turned towards Christmas and I have been working on the quiz for the Mince Pies outing, as well as updating the Christmas cards list. Ally has been working in Edinburgh and Glasgow this week so he has been staying with us, and it has been lovely to see him, he’s on good form and we have had some nice chats. He was supposed to be going hill-walking with Davie this weekend, but unfortunately the roads are too snowy north of Glasgow so they had to cancel. Nothing daunted, Ally booked tickets to see Rangers for himself, James and Davie. It was a draw and the three of them arrived home later very cold. However I had ramped up the heating in the house and set and lit a fire in the lounge, although fire expert James immediately set about improving it! The boys warmed up further with a Chinese meal which we ate with Marjory and Forrest and then we all enjoyed a convivial evening beside the fire.
