Desperate blip

Oh it's cold, -5 but the pool is closed so an extra hour or so in bed.

Wrote long notes for my visitors then wrapped one of the missing parcels which arrived via Royal Mail. Technically it wasn't really missing as it was only due on Saturday. In the garden briefly to finally cut back the now frozen roses. The outside pipe is also frozen. Spent some time failing to get the car up the drive. Wheelspin on ice.

Then to le coiffeur. I was late.  Slow buses but not slow enough to get a good picture of the tree and Edinburgh sign. 

Slow and bitterly cold journey home added to which I'd forgotten the 12 had turned into the service formerly known as the 42. 

I deiced and cleared the drive but slippy tyres and lack of traction meant a worrying amount of slide. The car is back on the road. 

Some more packing and weighing but still so much to do and a full on day tomorrow. 

Watched the remaining 3 episodes of Strike. Spoiler alert, it was his mum who dunnit.
