We're walking in the snow... (air) ish

No more snow today, but as predicted what we did have yesterday had frozen nicely making things just as precarious. As a result it was a last minute decision whether or not Phil would drive into work but a call from him boss made the choice for us as apparently the trip to the office was treacherous.

We did spend a good chunk of time trying to defrost the cars so that they would suffer less if we have even more cold weather (most likely) at least that way if we do have to get out for an emergency the cars will not be under a foot of snow with the doors iced shut.

Phil spent most of the day upstairs doing his work, whilst I meandered downstairs doing mine - a sandwich shop website was on the cards this morning as I continue to successfully plough through a lot of outstanding work. All was going well until we had a power cut which put pay to any work for 30 minutes or so, as well as the heating. Luckily though it wasn't long before we were firing on all cylinders again.

At around 6 we went out for a brief stroll down to the local shops - Phil had a doctors appointment so whilst he got seen I nipped into the shop to pick up some milk and other bits we were running short on, but to be honest there wasn't much of anything left on the shelves...we are doomed to starve! It did however give me the perfect reason to extract my hiking boots from under the bed and use them for the second time in the 3 years that I've owned them :-)

Back home and whilst tea cooked we both went next door so that we could drop their laptop back that Phil had been working on and also to see how the plane and Chris's finger was doing (luckily both are working fine!). We also had a chat about the car Phil is planning on getting - it will be invaluable this time to get the advice of people who know what they're talking about if we do go ahead and get the model car as maybe this time we won't get caught out on the niggly nuances that can cause havoc when trying to build your own whatever!

Dinner was nice if not a bit badly timed due to our stay next door being extended, and thankfully my feet have now got feeling in all toes after our snowy scoot out this evening. Suffice to say, another hot bath tonight and I'll be thankful for my lovely waffle blanket as I drift to sleep later!
