Day 2132 Mum had to turn back due to heavy snow so a change of plans!

I got up at 7 and headed up the hill with the dogs by about 7.20am.

It was bitterly cold!

I watched two deer run about in the field for a while. Can veer really catch them on camera though!

The sky was very stripey…

There’s snow away in the distance on Goat Fell, Arran.

It’s very peaceful and calm and I’m glad to be out walking, despite the cold.

Don’t remember seeing the sky like this.

Zoomed in on Beith with Goat Fell in the distance.

And then, heading back down the road I see the Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 flag in the sky! 🌌

That always makes me smile!!

So by this time a wee bit of panic sets in as I’m meeting mum in 2 hours, I’ve an hour and 15 minute drive to get to her and I still have to shower, wash my hair, get changed and wrap her birthday present.

I’m not normally this disorganised but my head is so full of Her Travel Circle 😆

I took a deep breath in the shower and think to myself that there is plenty of time and I will get it all done.

I head out to the car and it’s frozen so I keep calm, defrost, jump in and set the sat nav and my eta is 9.59am…. We’re meeting at 10.

I smile.

We have a busy junction at our road end. I drive to it thinking “I will get straight out!”…. I did…. Very unusual for before 9am.

I do get stuck in traffic but the sat nav knew about that.

I get to Glasgow City Centre when mum calls to say her road is nose to tail because of the heavy snow. It’s just come on but it’s really heavy and the traffic is going nowhere.

We both know she needs to turn around and head back home. No point in risking anything in bad weather. And so, our trip is cancelled. She gets home safely.

I u-turn through Glasgow City Centre and head for Braehead Shopping Centre.

It’s pure blue sky now and actually feels quite pleasant in the sun.

I head straight to Three and save £10 a month on my SIM card.

I then head to M&S and book a bra fitting consultation for 11am.

I do a quick run round the shops and head back to M&S…

Do you know that they are not allowed to use tape measures anymore so all they do is ask what you’re wearing and decide whether you are the same, or need bigger or lower…. Not gonna lie I could kinda do that myself. Anyway, the lady is lovely and I do and up with a couple…. No photos 😆😆😆

I go for Starbucks for an Oat Milk Pistachio Latte and a cheese and marmite ciabatta. I decide to sit outside in the sun ☀️

It’s so lovely t see blue sky after so long and feel the warmth of the sun on my face. It really lifts my mood. Not that it was low but it does really help.

I sit outside with the dogs for a bit when I get home.

Then I hoover and put things away and write this until I suddenly feel so tired, I finally sit down. I can’t do it all today.

I might get my crochet out for a bit.

I didn’t…. I ended up in Tesco!

It was a lovely blue sky at sunset!

Stay safe everyone ☀️☀️☀️
