    Been to the post office. Village is eerily quiet! Still snowing... you can't see the tracks from the cars that went out this morning... It's getting dark now, so I'm going to close the curtains, investigate the fire, and do a bit more pottering in the kitchen & living room. I might even get the hoover out :eek: as once I've done that lot I can put it away for a bit...

    Data centre at work has been down today (which they emailed us about, but of course we couldn't see it... luckily the US guys told us when they logged on this morning...) and is just up... in time for them to tell us that it'll be shut down again tonight for maintenance. So I won't be spending this evening working. I'll change laptops later and get some banking done (I have cheques to pay in!)

Finally managed to get some cleaning done today :)
