The snow makes weans of us all... 27th January 2012

 Took the dog up to Maryhill for a haircut yesterday, had a couple of hours to kill before he was ready to be picked up again so I ended up at the supermarket picking up some essentials. In the time it took for me to run round the aisles with my trolley the car got properly covered in snow. I now had three quarters of an hour to get from Anniesland to Duntocher to drop of the perishables before running back up to Maryhill before the dog groomer closed up for the day. All that in an ageing rear wheel drive car on chronically untreated roads covered in a thick helping of snow and secret potholes... I even had to turn the radio off to concentrate!

 On the plus side I had today completely free so got kitted up this morning and headed straight up into the Kilpatricks to enjoy the fun side of the snow while it lasts. There's something very reassuring about catching yourself fannying about in the snow like a big kid. Right now I should be concerned about the insurance claim for repairs to the roof or rebuilding the fence out the back after the storm. Instead I find myself chasing the dog about the hills throwing snowballs at him and slipping on my arse in a fit of giggles. The snow makes weans of us all!
