Good that it was cancelled early ITG!
(well, better than 15 mins before kick off, is what I mean)

Indeed, um. Hibbies bus stopped at Pitlochry to await the news too. Saved all of us from some fairly treacherous roads. I have a wee diddy hire car with summer tyres and a piddling engine. Pretty relieved I did not bave to drive through the Sutherland hills and twisty bits - twice!

Hope it is ok next Saturday for our drive south; that one is not optional.

Afternoon gonks. Wakefield parkrun done, was windy, boggy and hilly. Took it steady ish and enjoyed it (mainly). Good cafe after. Collected teen and we're all going axe throwing later!

Well done on your shifts MM. Relax again.

ITG, our roads were crap this morning so wouldn’t have fancied yours.

Only 190 at Aberdeen today which is quite low but the weather was sh**e. We then went for coffee and did our secret Santa swap. Everyone seemed pleased with their gifts. There was quite a common theme amongst it - mugs and coasters with runners in mind.

Afternoon or evening all. Happy belated birthday ITG.

Lots of catching up with Lip Gloss and Co which was lovely. Still thawing out my wet feet.

Nice picture Pothunter We got to meet Kelly Holmes’s at works 10K. She started the race then cruised through the field. She was great with my little ones. (Not little anymore) DD always speaks about the day when ever Kelly appears on TV.
