Eek! It snowed (again)

 This was the view from our sunroom window yesterday morning

It's not a lot different today to be honest. 

It was worst in the north of the islands so that, although we had what I would call more than enough, it was a lot worse in Kirkwall and even worse up on the north coast. It was less bad south of us on South Ronaldsay. We both had appointments; the OH was supposed to have a routine scan at the hospital in Kirkwall and had to cancel as he couldn't have got there. Mine however was in St Margaret's Hope, which is the main settlement in South Ron and I made it. 

It wasn't as bad as the last lot as the council were able to keep the roads largely clear, and without the high winds that we had last time the snow didn't get blown into deep drifts. It still meant it was  another batten down the hatches day. We'd been supposed to be going to the cinema to see the Royal Opera broadcast film thing-y of Manon - the ballet not the opera, but that obviously wasn't happening. They are showing it again next Tuesday afternoon so we might go then, weather permitting, of course.
