Sometimes you have to take your walks where you can get them: staying in town so I can get to work, covered miles into and around the city centre this afternoon. Snowing steadily, treacherous pavements, glum faces, a net full of satsumas in the Co-op with a free "Christmas Stress Ball" included (pur-leeeeease!), Christmas coming at you from all sides, "offer MUST end Sunday" (why?)and perhaps most bizarrely of all, a girl crouched in the front of a shop window painstakingly sticking polysterene snow onto it as the real stuff floated down outside.
Still, at least some kids were enjoying themselves throwing snowballs and a man in a kilt stood playing the bagpipes as the snow settled on his sporran, so it wasn`t all doom and gloom.
And why do so many people stand and shiver at a bus stop for hours, waiting for a bus that will then be gridlocked in traffic jams rather than set off walking?
