NWFH. Or more accurately I logged on, got set up and before I could do very much, my laptop died, making odd noises and getting stuck in a loop of rebooting but not being able to. (She had a similar experience in November; so I compared notes, and then duly phoned it in to confirm what I already knew - that it required an engineer to play with it. 

Long story short - by close of business, there had been no call.

In between times, I set about the laiundry, housework, dishes. And recaptured the Local Legend title on the Hesperus Dogleg (a mere 15 laps) before reducing the defecit on the United Wire Climb. 

I posted a book to Dreich. (Backstory - Zno are doing 24 page hard cover 6in square photo books for £5 plus postage. I spoke to Magi about this recently as I'd done a set of Cigs ones. So I then did a Billboard one - Steve was kind enough to support an exhibition I did in Leith a couple of years back, so figured I'd send him a copy of the exhibition in book format as I don't think he actually made it to see the exhibition. Anyway, Magi and I agreed that we'd both like to see other blippers 'publish' 24 page books of their finest blips. At a fiver a pop, I'd be happy to buy or swap books with other blippers. Not sure how easy it is to organise - one for the Blip Community to publicise perhaps and see if someone can suggest a way of doing it)

From the PO I went to Lidl; then home to call again about the laptop; no conclusion. The lads called, wanting their bikes for daily exercise; I asked if I could chum them to Cramond so off we went....

That was the last I heard from Her, too. I got a half garbled text from Her at lunchtime saying she needed to deal with Grace and could I not come up this evening but a stony silence followed by an erroneous Messanger call 9 hours later confirmed She'd had a glass or two of wine.

And now the snow falls; although as yet it's not lying. Pity - another day of waiting for a call about my laptop whilst there's snow on the ground could be fun....

There's always someone thinks they can outrun the tide on the causeway to Cramond.... this is the hasty backtrack when they realised the water was going over their wellies and perhaps a strategic retreat might be sensible
