I need to try out skiing before my legs get too used to complaining at me 🙂

Big sis and I have decided to be careful … We were going to take a trip up norf this weekend to see my mum & dad (sis from her place, me from mine) but we've chickened out due to fears of getting stuck.

Too bad here in Van it’s been snow free for the last few weeks. It’s getting really icy on the ski hills. We need more snow!

Must be a nice change for you guys. Be careful driving though.

Firstly, a shameless plug for the Techie blog 🙂 Talking about anti-virus products this time. If you’re in the market for AV, take a peek – it’ll guide you to a site that’s comparing the various AV products that are out there.

This piccy is from last night 🙂 Had to take this one as the snow was absolutely perfect. Unsullied by boot and untouched by car tyre. The advantage to living on a cul-de-sac 🙂 Enough for a covering last night but it was about 2 inches deep on the car this morning.

Pizza Hut got raided yesterday, before the snow started coming down. Paths were still not great but footing was far better than Monday night … Bit different this morning though. We only had about 1/3 of our normal complement at work today because the roads were fairly hairy. However, we still had morons in BMW X3’s (insert generic 4×4 name there!) doing 60mph on a slushy 40mph road.

It wasn’t too bad, after getting off the cul-de-sac I live on. However, I wouldn’t have been wanting to do much more than the 5 miles it is to get into work. It’s not so much trepidation at the road conditions, more like extreme wariness at what the other idiots on the roads are going to do … I think I’ve learned to handle a car pretty well now in adverse grip and the car has toys that help out there too but I’m not convinced about the other people out there.

Oh – I was highly amused to see groups of people at work today who were using their lunch break to build snow men 🙂

Muahaha – a kind of stern “wotcha lookin’ at” type of mug isn’t it 🙂

Lol – I made sure I took the piccy before hitting the wipers 🙂

(My car has a habit of turning on the rear wiper with the front if you have it in reverse …)

I love his face!

awwwwww – don’t hit the wiper button!

Had about enough for my SnowThing 🙂

But not nearly enough to repeat the Iceman of Nottingham Uni. Bunch of people from my uni hall made a 3 ball, 6 foot snowman. All the snow melted after a day or so but the Iceman was getting used as a meeting place for nearly a month 🙂

That might well be the last snowman I helped build too …

That wasn’t really enough snow for anything but a smiley really 😉
