Christmas in Scotland

We've just spent a week in Scotland over Christmas, -10 when we arrived and it didn't get much warmer for a few days.  We think we had it bad down here!  There were huge piles of ice that will take weeks to thaw but it looked good though!  I took a laptop to do some work, spent a lot of time thinking about doing work, but didn't do any.  So here I am on New Year's Eve wondering where the last 2 weeks have gone and with a list of things to be done in just about 9 days.  Remind me, why am I doing this again?
