What a miserable day it is today. The wind is blowing in gusts, bringing with it intermittent snow flurries. The snow is not lying.
A delivery man told me that a lorry had been blown over on the northbound carriageway of the Forth Road Bridge. That will have caused traffic chaos. No doubt once the road is clear, high sided lorries will be have to travel in pairs, or even be banned altogether until the weather improves.
I am sitting indoors, snugly (and smugly) warm.
My wonderful cleaners have been, so the house is looking pristine once more. They changed my bed for me – it is so good to slip in between clean sheets.
I can’t make up my mind what to do this afternoon: I have a choice of reading, doing my jigsaw or watching my latest DVD.
The DVD is from Amazon and is called Hill Street Blues. For those of you too young to remember it, the catchphrase was “Hey, let’s be careful out there!” It was a series based loosely on the film “Fort Apache, The Bronx”.
The book I am reading is Belfast Confidential by Colin Bateman (the title referencing LA Confidential), which was a Christmas present from my daughter.
The jigsaw is a WASGIJ. These jigsaws usually required you to imagine the view from the opposite viewpoint to the picture on the box, however the ones now require you to work out happened next. Certain bits will remain constant, while others will have moved - great fun.
I think I must be very spoiled to have such a choice on a weekday afternoon.

I do enjoy jigsaw puzzles, and I'm even happy to do them without a picture to follow, but having to work out what happened next feels like a step too far for me!
Good that you're warm, snug and entertained.
Snow? We've had rain arond where I live and puddles inside, look slike the roof's leaking.
Ho hum!
to A. you soon get the hang of what happened next as the changes are not large - a high proportion of the picture remains the same.
To the shrink.
Poor you and Mrs shrink - a leaking roof is just what you do not want at this time of year - hope you can find a good roofer.
