Snow 18 years ago

This is son's first snow man.

Snow work

Wake up - you can have a lie in!

Husband woke me at seven to tell me that it was too quiet for me to get to work, that is, there's no traffic to hear because there's snow everywhere. He was out by eight o'clock clearing snow.

The little pink smart car had a less smart driver at the time I took this photo. The SC driver managed the first 10 yards but got stuck there. Half an hour later after much phoning of SC driver's mother and labouring of neighbours little SM ended parked on the yellow lines just behind the junction, facing the wrong way and SM driver had decided not to join friends in High Wycombe today.

Working at home - a bit

The weather is too snowy to go to work. I've been admiring the robin on the bird table by my desk.

The plumber brought his electrician brother to do the electrics for the shower. We now have a working shower. However, the tumble dryer is now disconnected. We have to move it and connect it somewhere else.

Most stressful day of year

I was looking forward to going back to work until I looked out of the window at the snow and anticipated the roads.

The paper says that today is the most stressful day of the year.
