Day 1351 Happy Hogmanay Eve!

Knee pain – 1 progesterone – 0

Another strange on and off sleepless night. My knee is only sore in bed now. I even remembered to take painkillers!

Anyhoo… we had a lovely evening with Claire and Graeme last night. Check us… entertaining and all that! It was really nice and great chat.

It was super frosty by the time they left and still like that this morning.

Caught the dogs on the couch again this morning.

Minus Freya who couldn’t wait to get outside.

We had a good kick about with tennis balls .

Khaleesi is not quite sure what to do when she gets the tennis balls.

I sometimes her put her on the lead to stop her running about too much and hurting her legs.

So today Gayle and I were having a big day out.

I had loads of ideas, obviously the most crazy was that we would drive all the way to Oban and got to the Oban Chocolate shop for waffles and hot chocolate. The weather was forecast to be so lovely.

The forecast changed…. Considerably. 😂

This morning I looked a 3 other long distance cafés…. One in Lochgoilhead which is and hour and half drive, one in Balmaha, about an hour away and one in Luss… also about an hour away.

They are all open today.

Good.

Just to decide.

I check the forecast.

SNOW!!!!!!!!!

ALL 3 LOCATIONS.

Look out the window.

SNOW!!! 🤯🤯🤯

My head goes into a tailspin…. Don’t tell me we’re not going to get our big day out!?!?

I picked Gayle up before 11…. We drove around for a while…. Thought about heading to Braehead Shopping Centre but turned around at Lochwinnoch as the snow was pretty bad.

We decided to head to Mocha JaK’s coffee shop at the end of the road!!

It was so lovely to get out of the house and have a right good natter!! For FOUR hours we talked incessantly.

I had French toast with bacon and maple syrup.

I ordered the Avocado stack but they didn’t have that… then I ordered the veggie breakfast but they didn’t have that either so I actually really enjoyed the French toast as I would never have really ordered it. They finish up today for a week so they were understandably running things down.

By the time I dropped Gayle off we were still talking and remembering things we hadn’t caught up on!

When I got home the snow had all gone. There was a lovely sky and it was only 3.30pm.

I’m watching a movie called “What we did on our holiday” with David Tennant and Billy Connolly… it’s really good.

The dogs are fast asleep and I’m sitting by the light of the tree.

A lovely day!

Stay safe everyone 🎄🎄🎄
