    Default Cabin fever...

    ...is definitely starting to kick in on the east coast with some in Perthshire already proposing short term survival on a diet of bee egg cuticle soup.
    Those of more sound mind have elected for the 20 potato per day diet

    They say that this cold spell could last for 33 days so who knows where it will all end.

    Nice to see that you've mastered the art of posting videos! But how did you get it so far to the right?

    Thankfully I escaped and stocked up on potatoes (and red wine, but that is less important) this afternoon. The journey into Dundee was enlivened by balancing an unfeasible amount of snow on the car roof, which may have been why the car felt unusually wobbly. The cars in Dundee seemed less impressively adorned. However I've just seen cars in Auchterarder on the BBC news and I'm jealous. Can't match the three metre (slight exaggeration) hats on the vehicles there. Almost worth moving 20 miles along the road.

    It's plum centre of my screen. Must be a browser issue. Or dodgy vBulletin software.

    Edited it. Is that better?

    'Twas centred until run, then it showed itself to the right of the screen .... but now all quirkiness seems to have gone.

    I have always hated the way cars get branded 'Mondeo' 'Focus' or 'Corolla'
    far too bland

    I would be honoured to meet a man from an upland area who drives a Dr Seuss

    I wonder if this is the place to try posting this. Of course it may fail as I don't think think that I've fixed the glitch yet. Anyway, if it works, here is a snap of a piece of bee paraphenalia I spotted peeking out of the snow here in arctic Tayside.

    I actually made it into work today, to be told by one of the three people in the building that the place had been declared closed. That was after another hour shovelling snow to clear the overnight fall of 4 inches or so and to let the wife escape too by helping clear around her car. Then a drive down an extremely quiet A90 into Dundee. As the police are trying to get people to stay at home, I might just go and visit the occupied bee hives tomorrow (in between doing some computer-based work of course).

    Thought it had failed but it seems to have worked after all.
