Reginald and the Bairns

Just when we get all prepared for the snow and ice the weather throws us a wobbly and it looks like tomorrow it'll be the wind that's the problem. An unprecedented red alert's been issued by the Met Office and Stirling council's already announced all its schools and nurseries will close at lunchtime. People are hounding others around to see what their decision is.

Talking of Sir Elton John (I was, honest - Reginald's his real name), he's going to be playing that stadium up there next June. Reginald Dwight... meet The Bairns.

Hakuna Matata indeed.

Last episode of the BBC's 'Frozen Planet' has just started, going off to to look at some penguins and polar bears.

(If you go Big in Falkirk you should be able to see Jupiter on the right of the moon and the Pleiades (Seven Sisters) on the left).
