Yup was in work today, was not happy at 8am when I realised it'd snowed over night!

Yeah, it did here to a pretty meaningless degree. It's going to snow tonight as well, but according to the weather forecast it's going to be pretty much meaningless until Wednesday when the fabled "heavy snow" (it has an electric guitar) arrives.

At that point:



Though it is a weather forecast and such things need more than a pinch of salt.

Of course if I do have to change my phone it's not just the handset to change, I'm planning to get an iPhone5 (not sure which model yet will probably just see whats available), but that'll mean picking up a couple of lightning adaptors and a spare charger for in the car which is more expense I'd prefer not to have.

Lightning adapter?



Where do you use this phone? :eek:

There was less than an inch but this is the south, the locals were terrified of it.

Well you know I like to be money saving so I need an adaptor to capture lightning.

Well, I'd like to say it was all hunky dory up north, but people's driving in the snow is getting worse and worse. Thankfully, when it snows before work, or outside of work hours, the dumb-as-rocks people stay home.

It is moneysaving, but that singed smell with the high-rise hair is just not sexy... :eek:

Sadly for me there were rock brained people out this morning when I was going to work. One little ray of sunshine slid her car sideways around a corner - didn't crash or damage it in anyway, but refused to drive it out of the middle of the road until her husband came to move it for her. Less than an inch of snow, on a road I was quite happy to drive my KA on and she wouldnt even move it out of the way. :mad:

What? So maybe that's why I never seem to meet anyone......:rotfl:

Or possibly I need to leave the house more to go places other than work.

That's what youtube was invented for...

That is fairly bad. This "waiting for a man" thing seems to happen quite often. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpDPuPZaW78

Don't know why though.

They're there, they're just electrified by your personality...

That helps sometimes. You got plans to improve your socialabilityness?

Apart from getting a new phone that is...

I really must stop killing them - I no longer have a patio and a walk in the woods with the body is just hard work!

Not really, at some point I might pay my local pubs a visit, and I want to get involved with the parkrun - if I don't decide to go up north next weekend I'll try to get along to it on Saturday morning. But beyond that I'm still mainly going with wait and see how my budget looks in a month or so then start thinking about getting a life outside of work.

Any specific reason to go oop north?

I think I'll be doing similar, but over a slightly longer timescale of a couple of months or so. I've just had an offer accepted on a house. That should make the budget a bit different...

Need to tidy up the stuff I left, there are a few bits I left that I could do with bringing down.

Glad you found somewhere you liked - was it one of the compromise places?

But nothing time-urgent - like a birthday?

Every place is a compromise I guess, unless you have loadsa money, or - unlike me - you have a long-term safe job. But, it was relatively cheap, and it's an old structure with new bits inside, so should have space with modern conveniences.

But most especially, it's not grim like a couple of other places I've been to. You would think people would do those minor tasks like clear out gutters and throw rubbish out when trying to flog things for 6 figure sums...

scubaangel

No nothing urgent but this'll be the first time I have two consecutive days off since I headed down after Christmas and I've nothing planned to be doing instead yet.
