    It's snowing heavily in SW London/Surrey borders.

    It snowed lightly around the Surrey/Middx borders, but all gone now.
    That's another thing I like about the NPT : localized weather forecasts!
    When PN says it's pouring down and there's a westerly, it's time to get the laundry in.

    I hope it's one of the herts nice people has the lucky lottery ticket. It would be lovely.

    Thanks lir, I wish... No chance here, I can't remember the last time I travelled to Stevenage or Hitchin, but it was certainly before the ticket was sold.

    However, if by some freaky occurrence the money does end up in this household, I'm going to buy Sue a new car, help Pastures buy her house and get you your amethyst bath. That should still leave me plenty of millions to play with.

    Either way, you'll get some kind of job ;)

    Ha ha, yes indeed. I'm not sure how impressed Mrs Generali would be. Oh well, I find out tomorrow either way.

    Skyfall finally got to Aus so I took Mrs Generali to watch that this evening. Very good if you like that sort of thing...which I do. I do wish that people wouldn't talk in the cinema, I noticed it building up after about 90 minutes. I put it down to a short attention span: if you can't keep quiet for 2.5 hours go and watch the Dora the Explorer movie, @r5eh01es.

    That's so kind...a car for Sue, a bath for lir, a house for PN, and millions left for your one and only true NP friend Wheezy. :D

    I'd get westy a jewel encrusted bowl, oh, and an agent to coordinate all of his film appearances.

    No snow here. Clear skies. None forecast as yet...

    Already bored rigid with the royal baby stuff. There was a documentary on tv about the royal baby yesterday. BBC news 24 have started reporting about how other news agencies are reporting it. Focus on the news instead will you?

    I am almost literally drowning at the mo. Don't know whether it will get better or worse til the new year.:(

    I am completely exhausted.

    Car due to be serviced tomorrow, but that has been cancelled.

    If things go on like this, I might not be back til the new year...
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    I hope she looks healthier soon. She is already so terribly slight that carrying a baby and having this terrible thing must be having an impact.

    But yeah, bored too. Perhaps it will have a twist at the end...cool baby name for examplle.....what about caramac for a boy and flake for a girl?. Or Thornton and green'n'black.


    Anyway...

    Snuck ingot the doctors surgery to put in repeat prescription and the doctor walked by and said....hmm, you better come and see me soon, I will catch you next time you come in for repeat prescription.

    So, I walked into the pharmacy and signed up for the home delivery and managed prescription service :).

    Stupidly I have missed timed uctting my prescription in and it will not be back to Monday so I won't have enough pills to get me through most likely. The pharmacy say they will try and get them on an emergency advance (I just need some for Sunday I think) if not I have to pick a night to go blind and hard of hearing on.....

    Some people put other peoples toes in their mouths. But when you think where else most of us have ducked i still find that the idea of sharing the motor part of a toothbrush is untenable somewhat ....misplaced.

    I mean, if your partner is grotesque and doesn't rinse the thing and never cleans it fair enough....but otherwise...
