Well, that's the decorating done for now, a new carpet in and flat-pack furniture unpacked and assembled. I had to put together a 3-door wardrobe, which was easy enough until it came to hanging the doors. That took longer than all the rest of it put together. All that remains is for our new bed to arrive (king-size yay) and I have been promised a new computer desk. Something a bit more stylish and contempoorary than what I have a present.
The weather's turned very cold here. No hill-walking for just now. There will definitely be snow on the hills, which probably means I won't get to go up Beinn Eighe as I had planned. I might have to put that off until next year, unless we get a settled period sometime soon. The shorter Winter days really do prohibit ascending anything major and the presence of snow can double the time taken. That's why it's very important to put some thought into planning Winter hill trips. being out in the cold after dark, when the temperatures do really dip, especially higher up... that's a big no-no for me. I still want to get out though. It might just mean smaller hills, nearer home.
