The Final Hours Of 2009
It seems like only a year ago I was sitting in this very office, at this very desk, writing about the final hours of 2008. Actually it was.
Today, I've just come in ouy of the snow having captured my final image from the castle esplanade in Inverness. The photograph above was taken at about half past twelve this afternoon. Huge globules of white stuff tumbling from the sky. Well, at least it tidies things up for Hogmanay. It's like getting a fresh lick of emulsion over the brown, grit-stained slush.
I've just called Fiona Aitken, our Senior Producer in Aberdeen. She says the weather isn't so bad there but hopes that Tom Morton is making his way carefully to the Lerwick studio to celebrate his birthday by presenting his last afternoon show of the year. He knows how to have fun.
I can't get hold of any of the music producers in Glasgow, but I assume they're busy organising the run-through for the Hogmanay Show from the Pacific Quay restaurant tonight.
As for me, I'm off home with instructions to pick up some bread and milk on the way.
Once again, thanks for listening to 91Èȱ¬ Radio Scotland during the past twelve months. I'll be back on the blog soon with news of some exciting things we have planed for January and February.
Meanwhile, I hope you have a Happy New Year...and here's a look at the changing seasons of this past year...
