Plumbed the chilly depths of -12C here on the NE coast last night. Went
for a walk across Udale Bay at low tide trying not to disturb the
feeding bird life unduly. Returned to -4.7C in the shed and -8C
outside. Now at 1530 it's -10C outside and clear skies, no wind &
1034mb. Pink sky to the west. Stunning.
Outdoor curling in Inverness tomorrow - best pop the stones outside to
"acclimatise". Not great when they have a vertically component when
travelling :-]

Still awaiting alternative Grand Match venue - maybe the "blazers" at
the RCCC have given up.

There were 2000 on the ice of the Lake of Menteith yesterday -
curling, skating, playing ice hockey and walking. I don't think anyone
fell through the ice either.

It was suggested in my morning paper that what had scuppered the big
event was an inability to arrange insurance.

Oh gosh, crivens, help ma bob, did the Central Police know!!!!PC Flynn
will be having kittens. That's so spontaneous and risky! How will they
manage to mitigate any threats to the public. Outrageous, who is
responsible for that show of uncontrolled public enjoyment? What if
someone was hurt? Dont the public understand the importance of obeying
authority and not stepping outside at all? I hope full massive cotton
wool body armour was worn by everyone so that it can be reported that
everyone was adequately prepared. etc etc etc ZZZZzzzzzz.....
