    Nice day in London today...(3 Feb)

    London was at a standstill today.... not something that happens very often!!! Buses that usually bring 6 million into the city each day were stopped last night because of the snow....

    Not sure how many come into the city on the trains, but I headed off as normal to catch the train to work to find that there were no trains.... Poor guy at the ticket office was being abused by arses that obviously thought it was his fault.....

    I work at a law firm in Holborn, out of the usual 500 on site, there were about 50 made it in.... 3 in the IT dept (where I work). So the citrix servers took a bashing.

    Anyway, hubby braved it down to Wickes (Placemakers, like) to pick up some bags of ready made concrete so he could do the edges for the new garage floor (not one to waste an extra day off work). I was stuck working from home.... Hopefully all will be better tomorrow....

    So here are a couple of pics out the back of the house and out the front... Remember this is London so we are lucky to have the postage stamp sized garden ok!!

    Our side streets were thick with snow, but the main roads were ok, although he did say he's never seen such sedate driving around here.....

    Yup, todays footprints on the back "lawn" have gone.... see what happens tomorrow. Although Trent is threatening to get us to work on the KTM... that could be fun.

    Man I miss England, 1 inch of snow and it grinds to a halt, the wrong type of leaf on the track stops the trains, saltgrit and slush everywhere.

    24 degrees here today. Come home soon.
    Oh bugger

    Now THAT sounds like the right attitude. A proper mission for a snotard! Only problem is that it's rather difficult to get insurance for motorcycles during the winter
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)
