We so rarely get it in my corner of south-east England. This morning, we've a real blizzard! I can't go to work because the day centre's shut with the weather.
So... I've been out and taken some photos...
Today was a complete snowy disaster.
I had an appointment at a debt advice centre. I rang a couple of hours before the appointment to check if they were opened. All I got was a standard answerphone greeting inviting me to leave a message after the tone.
I decided to go. Struggling through snow and freezing wind, I arrived to find this:
The shutters up and nobody there.
I went home in despair. Half way through the return journey I read through the letter and directions carefully. And I realised that I had gone to the wrong place. The actual appointment was in a office a few minutes down the same road.
I hurried back and found the actual place I should have visited.
This was shut as well with metal shilutters down and a hand written notice saying it was closed due to the weather.
I Finally arrived home, half frozen to death.
I trust you’ve warmed up now Robert following your very conscientious attempt to arrive in time for your appointment. Well, I don’t think it was an attempt was it, more like a success. Good job. I’ve been cleaning my son and daughter in laws kitchen today, it was one of my favourite things to do when I was a kid, so it was really nice. I also made them stew and dumplings in their slow cooker so they had a nice hot meal to eat when they got home as well. So my hands are raw from bleach, but I’m happy, they’re happy and now I’m having a bit of me time :-)
