Mair Snaw

A glorious afternoon after a poor start... uncovered the remaining path in the garden.. in total 27 stepping stones.. followed this with a trip to co op for beer and managed to get some bargains in the reduced to clear.. £39 of food for £7.. my particular favourite was diced venison £4.60 reduced to 92p grabbed both of them..and the home for a dog walk in beautiful sunshine

Yesterday was horrible... dull and cold.. log burner was lit at 3pm and used all evening until bed time.. today looks very similar but is meant to brighten up later.. tomorrow looks glorious before horrendous Sunday... summer will be here soon

A glorious morning here which allowed me to get into the garden and start a bit of digging and finding.. Uncovered 8 so far stepping stones that even the landlord didnt uncover in the 10 years they lived here.. on a quick glance i would say another 10..

I can always take a walk up and check it for you if you like?

Shocking day, truly awful.. garden is like a swamp, roads are terrible with lots of standing water around. Good news we finally got a firewood delivery.. not the usual hardwood, but kiln dried Larch is the next best thing and around half the price of hardwood so a win win..

Another horrid day here... like mid winter. You wouldn't think it's summer in 3 weeks... still no wood for the fire. I've never had so much trouble in getting firewood delivered, its crazy..

Horrible week here... we've all had Covid again, wife really unwell.. the weathers been a bit up n down.. couple of ok days but nothing to stop me lighting the stove daily. Organised a local lad to deliver more supplies and was due here today at 4pm.. 6pm a message "sorry cant do it now as all sold out"... so now im left with just 6 logs to burn and no other supplier locally wants to be bothered to come out for 1 cube of hardwood...and i would rather freeze to death than pay a supermarket £8 for a bag of bits that wouldnt last an hour.. Anyways enough of my crying.. happy bank holiday weekend everybody..

A few very heavy snaw showers around 8am covered everything in about 1cm... melted as quick as it accumulated once it stopped.. currently a heavy shower on again.. if this is winters last stand then so be it..

Lovely stuff...❄❄

Mair snaw in the showers here now.. not settling as yet... and the gardener has just turned up to do the lawns in this weather...❄❄

Rain, hail and snaw showers this morning.. its blooming cold out there...❄❄

Upgrade...❄❄

I will take this 1cm of snaw as a final goodbye...

So after a few more mornings of Badger garden destruction i sort advise from landlord... and apparently male pee is very offensive to the badgers, so under the cover of darkness Saturday night after a few vintage ciders i took a stroll down to the cabin at the bottom of the garden and let rip... and almost no sign of Mr Bader since.. now im not sure how often the pee needs administrating to the area etc but if it works i will be down the bottom of the garden more often... Oh weather site stuff... a glorious looking day here, a little cool in the breeze but other than that a fine day..

We have a badger who is getting closer to the back of the house every night...and have been informed by landlord that he lives under the cabin at the bottom of the garden.. He spends his nights digging up my lawn meaning 20 mins every morning replacing the various bit of turf he has dug up.. Video from 2020 of said Badger.. VID-20230324-WA0005.mp4

Glorious morning...

Log store full again...a few more heavy snaw showers this afternoon but seems to be clearing up now. A cold night to come for sure and the gritters have been out..

Up at 5am to a dusting ish of snaw.. a few very heavy snaw showers today so far.. everytime its threatens to settle it stops.. currenlty heavy snaw falling. ❄❄. Heating in this house is set at 17c.. occasionally i treat the family to 18c and on oil delivery day its 19c... Log delivery day today and just in the nick of time as im down to my last nights worth..

Just gone to put the bins out and its snawing again, didnt expect to see that.. fresh dusting.. last of it before spring arrives??? I doubt it.. still got all of April to go yet...❄❄

Heaviest snaw of the spell now on...❄❄ 20230314_105503.mp4

Radar looks like very heavy incoming... kids at school in Huntly asking what happens if bus cant get them...lol.. my reply.. sleeping at school

Blizzard conditions here out of nowhere... everything white instantly. Checking the radar it appears to be a band from the North ❄❄❄❄

Yes heavy snaw turning everything white again...

And as quickly as it started it stopped....

Just took dog out and its snawing heavy...❄❄
