Home, feet up and allegedly chilling before the long run a.m. to Runcorn.
Mercat bar was busy today, and we were joined by Kirsty, having a try out to see how she got on - might have helped if we had known she was coming as I had her kitted out to help in the kitchen !! before we realised she was supposed to be helping me.
Managed to get a haircut by Ali at the Salon cafe by 0830 before the bar was open and she was fully awake! No, she was awake and did a good job for me.
On the way home passed Donaldsons College which I have always loved as amajestic building, Designed by William Mayfair and built in the 1840's, it was the country's leading college for the deaf until Cala Homes did a deal and bought it for redevelopment, housing the school in new premises in Livingston. There has not been much work done on the internal conversions to 70 flats since 2006, but new homes have been built to the rear.
One of the BBC weather men , did they not get a bonus recently, suggested that we may have a touch of frost this morning - which aprt of the UK was he talikng about ? we have a permafrost up here in Scotland which will takes ages to thaw out and no doubt cause flooding in the process.
Came down Lowries den, the piled up snow is brick hard, lord knows how many cars have fallen foul due to skidding and been damaged.
Might cheer up William and Sandra who are due back from sunnier climes on Friday, but hot off the press this picture of William has just arrrived- not sure if he was sheltering from the sun, the villa was cold or what - but the red wine looks good.
Cheery e mail from the Old yin, Andrew Stewart, who wrote the wee book on The Harbours of East Lothian who is now a popular speaker on the local circuits giving talks and slide shows of his various trips and projects.
Of harbours, the boat was in the inner harbour beside the Brittania when we were down at Ocean Terminal on Sunday, but we never got the name to research it.
