After a day of lying in, with the covers pulled up to my chin and the polar weather well and truly ignored, I rose to find things were considerably less snowy than when I’d gone to bed.
In fact, after all the hype, and all my moaning most of it had gone.
I then went shopping, took a few photos, moaned internally about idiots in TESCO and spent too much on groceries. I could go into greater detail about the idiots in TESCO as there was a particularly fine crop today, including one wearing a Bluetooth headset.
It bears repeating, and I have repeated it, I confess, that there is little difference between someone talking to a Bluetooth headset and someone talking to themselves in the manner of a burbling idiot.
There were also several sets of giggling girls and even one fully grown woman who seemed to be letting her sense of humour gain the upper hand. I checked my clothing for malfunctions and comic notes but couldn’t find anything so can only assume there is something hysterically funny about shopping. I’ve never noticed it myself, but it takes all sorts.
After that it was off to pick Julia up and watch a BMW getting stuck in a very small patch of snow. I’d gone through the patch without really noticing it, turned round and parked ready to pick Julia up. The BMW followed a short while after and spent some time spinning his wheels before reversing and trying again.
It is so tempting to be sarcastic here – but I’m better than that. Oh yes, I am.
In the evening I had another senior moment. I selected potatoes for baking, pricked the skins, put them in the oven and went to watch TV with Julia. If only I’d switched the oven on…
What a difference a day makes…
The news says it’s going to freeze overnight, so it’s fortunate that there isn’t much snow left. That and the two kilos of salt I put down outside the house should prevent too many problems.
I often cook like that. It makes for interesting meals.
I made some potato cakes with grated potato. They were definitely interesting…
I’ll send some of our early spring weather your way. Give my best to Julia. 🙂
That would be good thanks. 🙂 I will pass on your good wishes.
I guess there was the inevitable schadenfreude at seeing an expensive car hadn’t trouble in a small patch of snow 😊.
Yes. 🙂 Most definitely.
We’ve got it, Quercus. Did you send it?
Well, ours has gone, and the wind was blowing your way…
Hope it doesn’t last. 🙂
🙂
Well, there! Still a lot of snow in our yard.
We don’t really have much snow – but we do complain a lot when it comes. 🙂
Complaining and bad weather go together.

I like the snowy holly photo!
It was just a ball of snow in the morning, so things are moving on.
