  1. Let It Snow...

    Finally, the south gets something resembling some decent snow. Yes, I know we had some just before Christmas, but that wasn't a lot (although driving home from Bournemouth in a blizzard in a Transit hi-top with one headlight out wasn't fun...)

    This time though, it's different. Proper big snowflakes and everything. So far there's just over 6 inches outside, with the promise of more overnight and during the day tomorrow.

    It might be selfish, what with the disruption ...

  2. Start as you mean to go on...

    Ooops! My cold wasn't THAT bad and yet still I used it as the excuse to bail out of training last night so that I could spend some time with H and Oliver after the culture shock of being back at work for 8 hours yesterday.

I mumble back "same to you" before going on with the original question I was about to ask.

  5. Christmas Lunch

    Ah well, Christmas lunch is in progress with the temporal precision that only Microsoft Project can give. Only joking! I used Excel. If it goes wrong, I shall cook Bill Gates and feed him to the local wildlife.

    I know what to shove in, take out, unwrap, nuke, steam, roast and prod. The extremely rich christmas pudding will be steamed.

    And when it's all over and I'm seeing double after the wine, I shall collapse and vow never to do that again... not until next year anyway. ...
