I was in at work early this morning, not really knowing what to expect. We awoke to a thin layer of snow that fizzled out by the time it was properly light. We managed to put some salt down in the car park and on the path leading to the Nursery but we have only half a bag left and there was no more to be had...anywhere!
I did the wages today after receiving warnings that the weather is going to worsen tonight and tomorrow. At least if I can't get into work tomorrow everyone will be paid!
As it turned out we were quite busy at work which was great. The news is full of the weather and how it could turn out to be the coldest winter for years or even decades.
After work we sat in the dining room and had a game of cards. It's the first game we've had for ages and although I miss sitting in the conservatory, it's a lot warmer in the house and we're saving a fortune by not heating the glass house! When the weather turns warmer, we'll dismantle the Scalextric and resume normal service. Spring and summer seems a long way off at the moment, but soon enough this spell of Arctic weather will be a distant memory.
