This morning I dug out an infrared heater as the temperature is forecast to drop to minus silly degrees in a couple of days, needless to say it is broken and I can't find anything obviously wrong. I decided to have a run into Cupar to get one of those ceramic heaters with a blower. The electrical shop is shut and Tesco only had a small aircon unit....I suspect they'll have that for a while. I came back and ordered one from Amazon, I debated whether to have it delivered here or to the stables and as heavy snow is forecast decided on the latter. If the glen road is shut or even looks a bit white the delivery folk take the package back to either Dundee or worse Dunfermline.
The roads this morning were lethal, melt water running off the fields into clogged ditches had flowed over the road and frozen. To add to the joys of life it had then snowed on top of the ice. At nine thirty nothing seemed to have been gritted but that is the norm these days. I did pass a Gritter on my way back but he was doing the A91 and didn't divert to give Muchty a sprinkle. I struggled to complete the last half mile home but succeeded which is all that matters.
