It’s nearly 7PM and we have to pop out for five minutes. I look up. There’s a cloud in the sky, it’s a cloud I’ve seen before. It’s kind of fuzzy, not very well defined and has a kind of fluffy character to it.
What does the cloud mean? Well, somewhere quite close is I suspect going to receive a deposit of snow. Yes, I think it is going to snow.
It was certainly cold enough for a stiff frost this morning. Luckily there wasn’t much wind, even so I had my balaclava up over my ears. It wasn’t raining this morning. If it had been and it was this cold, I’m not sure I would have gone out for a walk. The Haslar Marina Pier Wall was an ice rink, I did not venture on to it. There were a couple places where I thought there could be some black ice, so I was a bit careful there. After all, it wouldn’t be good to fall in to the cockle pond. Not too deep, but at this time of year, it would be really uncomfortable, if not dangerous.
So yes, it’s a serious case of writers block tonight.
