I'm migrating over from Twitter and trying to find everyone again.
Me to me early this morning: look at you putting on a wash so you can get it hung up before you go out. Organised AF.

Me just now: fuck, the washing is still in the machine.

Me to me last night: We should eat up the soup tomorrow before it goes bad.
Me, thinking: I don't want to.
Me, today: put it in a mug and you won't think of it like soup.
Also me: don't be ridiculous, that won't fool your brain.

Empty mug....ummm. 🤔

It seems it was search and rescue - eep.
It's never good to hear a helicopter landing in the village. It's either the site ambulance or the Coastguard, and neither are great news.

A significant number of the village street lights are out on main street. This includes the one outside our bedroom window. It ain't half dark!

Snow is now falling steadily about half a mile up the road from us. We have drizzly sleet - the downside of living very close to the sea.
Well, we're getting the snow ❄️. It's too soon to tell if we're going to get hammered by the amber alert quantities forecast, but I'm very glad we got shopping for the week on Monday.

If anyone remembers I mentioned it all kicking off on the village fb group, I now have the deets. Oh boy, some folks really do need to give their heads a wobble. I can totally see why it's a police matter.

I feel like I'm in a holding pattern now waiting for the apparent yellow-warning-level of snow we're supposed to be getting.

It's all kicking off on the village fb page tonight. High drama in the Highlands for real.

I really miss my mum right now. Part of me is very glad she's not alive to witness the state of the world rn, but most of me would give anything to have her back.

At this time, we would like to remind everyone in our community and everyone that loves and supports us that it is OK (in fact we strongly encourage it!) to take this festive period to look after yourself, to put yourself first, and to do what you need to do to feel well.

The husband went shopping. He knew the drill.

For the first time I can recall, my new credit card arrived before the old one ran out. Finally!!

A round of applause, please. I have finally mended the fraying edges of my oodie hood that I've been promising myself I'd do for the list EIGHTEEN months.

Ten minute, job. Why am I like this?
