I did t sleep well waking at 10.30pm, 12.30pm and finally 2.43am 🫣 I didn’t actually have to get up until about 4.30 but of course I couldn’t get back to sleep.
My mind was racing.
I got up and let the dogs out the back…. They barked…… it wasn’t even 4.30!!! 🫣
Quick shower changed and out the door to realise the car was frozen! It’s our first frost of 2025. I could have taken a photo of the car but I went into “fastest way to defrost mode!”
Of course you are never ready for the first frost.
Goodness knows where my de-icer is?
I hadn’t had any thought to put the frost cover on.
So I used the best method my neighbour Helen gave me…. Fill a sandwich bag full of hot water and seal it. Then rub it across the windows.
Perfect.
I was only -0.5°C so it wasn’t cold enough for the melted frost to freeze again, so that was a bonus. 😆
I set off for Edinburgh Aiport.
There was freezing fog.
Just at Glasgow Airport a van seemed to almost blow up and the smoke that belched out the back of his van actually made me almost stop. I couldn’t see a thing. There were huge clouds of thick smoke!
He pulled over eventually and was still at the side of the motorway when Craig and I came home.
My drive was uneventful after that. A message came through from Craig as I passed Harthill Service Station!
He pretty much sailed through immigration and baggage reclaim and was out 30 minutes after landing. I think that’s pretty good for an international flight.
I went to the petrol station at Newbridge and filled up.
I sat in a car parking space for a few minutes until he called to tell me he was out.
The early morning sunrise sky was beautiful!
So huge big hug in the drop off and pick up zone and off we go back to home… via the supermarket for a quick shop… as you do!
Work flew by and now we’re in the village pub. One of our lovely neighbours is back from Australia and it’s so good to see her!
Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
