Yesterday was crazy, Edinburgh and Glasgow were brought to a standstill by an outbreak of SNOW! There was like a 40 mile tailback on the M8 (that's pretty much all of it) between Edinburgh and Glasgow. Some people were stuck in their cars for 18 hours.
Took me over 2 hours to get into work, with 1/2 an hour of that spent inching up (and sometimes sliding down) the steep hill at Orchard Brae. Halfway through the day we heard that all the buses and trains were cancelled. So at about 3pm me and workmate hiked home, stopping at Hector's in Stockbridge for a couple of pints of Staropramen on the way.
I emailed the PR company to ask what would happen if we can't make our flights to Iceland on Friday. They've said we could reschedule, which is cool but then there'd be no guarantee we'd get to meet up with Olof which would be a shame. My mum (hi Mum!) was going to come down from the Highlands to help out while we're away but it's looking more and more like she might not be able to make it what with the roads being so bad.
But even though if feels a bit like everything is conspiring against us to stop us from going - I still think we're going to make it!
