Wasn't sure whether this counts as spugs/fantastic/impediments or okay....
Got back from business trip to Shetland islands last night.
Good points: Spectacular scenery; two days out of the office plus a bit of extra time-in-lieu; gorgeous country house hotel with delicious meal.
Bad points: complete waste of time me being there; terrible weather - had to drive hire car the 60 miles back to airport in total blizzard, zero visibility, lost control, went into a spin and ended up in a ditch at one point (some kind soul with a 4x4 and a tow rope pulled me out) and then spent the rest of the day in airports. four hours at Sumburgh ( a big shed basically) before the (propeller) plane took off in heavy snowstorm, and then another four and a half hours in Aberdeen. Got home at 11pm rather than 5.30 as planned.
