    Fingers crossed for you Beanie! Roads weren't bad today but there seems to be more snow forecast for tonight and tomorrow, I really hope not.

    Drove home into a lovely sunset listening and Orange Juice were on with Rip it up just as I got home which brought back lots of lovely teenage memories, so happy Spice tonight although I have still to do footie run and get petrol so will be thoroughly "chilled" later.

    On the birdwatching thing Ampersand I watched a buzzard in the field behind my house yesterday who kept chasing away a magpie whenever he went near a certain fence pole - was weird as he was just as close on another one and the buzzard didn't seem to mind another magpie sitting on it... I watched for about 15 mins and neither was giving up, not sure what happened in the end...

    NSD today must be 3 in a row now, although I have spent money it's been on budgeted unavoidable stuff like petrol and childcare.
    My nice clean and shiny car is now manky again and I need yet more petrol, next time I will get a car with a bigger petrol tank mind you I suppose it gets better mileage not carting stuff about that I'm not using.

    oh and did you know Shirley Valentine was only 42? I remember watching it and thinking she was some old dear... jings I'm nearly as old as an old dear....
