    Marooned By White

    Maroon is a deep, brownish-crimson colour; white, by contrast, is at the other end of the "spectrum" ... in that it is colourless. Here in Perth, however - as I suspect is the case throughout the British Isles - the two have come together in a sense ... since Myrna & I are confined to the house as a result of last night's heavy snowfall.

    So what's it like elsewhere ... ???

    Haven't ventured across the doorstep for the past couple of days, Mikey. But I should imagine we've about the same depth here in Perth. And, from what you say, you're very wise in deciding to stay put in Edinburgh. You take care, too!!

    The temp here Arthur in Swindon at 0430 is plus 30c. that is in the house only ! Wife got it set to that day and night. Wife wee's alot due to her condition, she likes a warm bathroom middle of the night. We seem not to wear too many clothes ! Which of course reduces the use of the washing machine.

    As I write this, I am looking at another snow fall. Big big flakes, covering the covering of the covering that did not melt away.
    Went out yesterday in the car...
    Not planning to go out in the car again anytime soon
