Quite a change in the temperature today. It has risen to above freezing but feels colder because of the wind. Sadly, it was a day of avalanches, with the thaw, and two men were swept off Ben Nevis. We watched the helicopter come and go and they located the men's bodies in the afternoon.
The windscreen wiper on the Landrover has broken, so now it is a bit like my big black Kiwi coat - I can only wear the coat in dry weather (or I smell like an old sheep), and I can only drive the landrover in dry weather. Spook is going to Inverness tomorrow to buy the new bit and will take 4, 12yr old boys with him to go and watch Avatar. It is a 130mile round trip for the part, or for the cinema, so may as well make it all worth while.
I will languish in bed as long as possible, justified by an 18.30hrs to 2.30am shift at work to help folks celebrate the New Year. It's a lovely shift, but at present, I can't imagine staying awake that long.
Today, Mum and I went to town on the train with Drew - his 1st train trip. He was a pleasure to be with and charmed everyone within his immediate vicinity. Mum said it was an honour to have been on the trip with him.
Meg baked cakes with Amy and was in very upbeat form.......her decorations are making good fire starters.
