Snowy Weather

Thursday, 3rd January

Had planned to go to NB to visit Nan, but heavy snow and roads seemed treacherous, so decided to postpone. Stuart took me round to Jean’s, did some shopping for me and took my books back to library.Didn’t like Alasdair Gray’s “Old Men in Love” .Should have known better, as I didn’t like his “Lanark” very much either.Thought I’d read “Old Curiousity Shop” again as it was on TV last week, but I had forgotten how grim it was, as indeed most of Dickens works are, though he’s a master at getting the message across. Not a very good TV production either. “Bleak House” is pretty grim too but I thought the recent BBC production was impressive. I’d forgotten my key when I was at Jean’s so phoned Arthur. Went round to get his stayed a wee while . Catherine phoning John Lewis as rhey’d delivered wrong television as it’s enormous! walked along home with Arthur. If I shut my eyes it was like walking with John. Going to look out music for him as he wants to brush up on Burns songs to sing at Airts Burns Supper.
