Fotune's Always Smiling

Fortune wasn't smiling on me this morning when I decided to do the sensible thing as the roads are snowy and, going a mile or so out of my way rather than use the more direct but wind-y slidey country back road, take the dual carriageway A90 from Queensferry. Wrong!!! I turned from the roundabout on to the slip road and then it took 2 hours to get about 3 miles.

It didn't help that I needed a pee after about 30 mins, that I got something in my eye and it started watering so bad I had to use the manky window cloth to wipe it, and that I ate my lunch about an hour in. It was like the Victor Meldrew traffic episode 'cept I was both Victor and Mrs Warboys.

Elsewhere, a plasterer came round tonight to look at holes in my ceiling. He was only 20 minutes late which is equal to being an hour early in tradesman time. He's going to do the most important bit of the job this week, in the evenings, at my convenience. Yep, all of those things. I know!
