Brrrr ... I just got in from planting the blackcurrants, pardon me while I brush the snow off my jersey. Yup, real snow.

Meanwhile Dougie and Bob are beavering away laying the flooring. Mess, noise, Forth FM, cheeky chat, the works. They thought I was hilarious, gardening in the snow.

I have to go in to town in a bit, to collect my camera from work. I took it into the office rather than leave it in the car, ha ha -- in the excitement of gathering up the pots of blackcurrants I left it under the desk. Completely forgot about it until I was almost asleep, don't you hate those sudden blinding revelations late at night! I got up and phoned the security guard, got him to go and get it. I imagine he found it, too bad for me if he didn't.
