Snow!

[fat hamster]

I was planning to drive down to Wells later...maybe this is not the day for it!

I am told that Wells is more or less snowless...the BBC local weather forecast says 5 degrees and sunny all day today in both Wells and Bristol, so I guess I'll give it a couple of hours and then set off - but not over the Mendips!

 

[rubbershoes]

just found out i'm the only person from my settlement to go into work. one other couple tried but turned round and got stuck for two hours.
everyone was out in the courtyard having fun earlier and i was sitting here at my desk shuffling papers.

they're throwing snowballs and i'm wearing a tie FFS

and i have a meeting later so i can't even go home early

I've just got my new digi camera out, took one photo from the kitchen window, and the battery died. Got out the packet of new rechargeable batteries I bought last week and have discovered that they don't come charged, so I've put them on charge but won't be able to use it today, and it'll probably all be gone tomorrow.

Damn new technology!!

I've got my old camera that's still got 30 exposures left, so I'll have to use that instead.

*rechargeable head...


you may find that they will discharge very quickly..and possibly not work first time round with your digi-cam,,,but dunt dispare...put them on charge again for another evening and they should come to life.

I actually left my big comfy chair to take the dogs out, they loved it, like two little pups they were


And you're gonna get it all tomorrow

Bombscare, you sir are a NUTTER!!

Don't the english have gritters and snowploughs and stuff??

I've driven in snow considerably worse than rubbershoes photo, very pretty though Mr shoes.

I have just noticed how good the visability is. I have never seen the air so clear, the severn bridge lights are pin sharp.


Maybe the snow cleaned up the local air
