This was a cold one.
The temperature this morning was around -2º which is quite cool. I decided it would be better to stay in bed until the mercury climbed up past zero. Beautiful sunshine and glorious colours on the Campsie Fells, made it look quite promising until you opened the front door. Then the cold blast told the true story.
Scamp gave me a shopping list and I drove down to Tesco and collected most of the things she asked for. We both agreed that it was too cold for her to go out in this weather. Maybe next week, if the weather turned slightly warmer, but not today.
A parcel arrived in the early afternoon that I knew was for Scamp. I’d had a mysterious message explaining that a parcel was on its way to us. I didn’t tell Scamp because that would spoil the surprise. It arrived on time and it turned out to be a magnificent box of fruits for Scamp from Jamie, Hazel, Simonne and Neil. Brilliant idea again, folk. Neither of us were expecting that.
Scamp had barely opened the parcel and was starting to investigate it when another parcel arrive from Canute and Delia! This time it was a bunch of flowers. I think Scamp was really enjoying the attention.
I went for a walk in the late afternoon and got PoD, which was a scattering of frost that was the first ice of the winter.
Tonight I was making dinner and it was Fish Risotto. One of our all time favourites. I don’t know what I did the last time I made the risotto, but I double and triple checked the ingredients and their quantities this time and it turned out just the way it should. Phew!
No plans for tomorrow, but maybe Shona will drop in.
