It has been a frustrating week because of the weather. The cherry picker has not arrived from Bristol and it took MacSalvors two days to reach us from Pool. By Friday, things have started moving again with the departure of the Compression Chamber.
A weather story to end the week: the MacSalvors lorry arrived at about 11:00. The driver took one look at the Square and declined to drive over what he saw as sheet ice. After much umming and ahhing, and a phone call, a Jewson lorry arrived with a large bag of grit. He drove past the MacSalvors lorry and straight up the front of the Museum where he unloaded the bag and a wheelbarrow. The MacSalvors man, looking on, insisted on salt as well before he was prepared to go over the ice.
Two hours later still, and with no salt in sight, the MacSalvors man was finally embarrassed into driving across the gritted surface. Hey ho.
More snow is forecast for the weekend.
