In the bleak midwinter...

...frosty winds made moan.

Lazy start this morning due to my late (but alcohol free) day yesterday. I popped up to the The Flott to meet Druncle Craig for a pint and to watch the fitbaw....I could get used to this life of leisure thing. The snow is still very deep here; a mere 4 miles from the city boundary and minor roads are still shut. The chat from the local farmers at the bar was all about when the thaw will come and the Glencorse road will re-open. The Royal Mail clearly has better weather intelligence than the farmers because I noticed they've decided they aren't collecting mail again until Wednesday.

Friends visiting from Crieff tonight; I may crack open that Highland Park I won a couple of weeks ago......ahhh....the pleasures.
