My day so far...
-
Wake up at 5am. Alarm has failed to go off. Buggrit. Look out of window. Can only see ice on inside of window. Brrr. ... 05:30 wade through snow to car (which has been carefully pushed to the high point of the driveway) and attempt to open door. Door frozen shut. Try other door. Door handle comes off. Swear. Eventually get door open. Start car to get heater going. Car does not start. Swear more. Step back off drive into 2 feet of snow, which goes into work shoes etc. Swear again. Trudge back to house to get keys to 4WD. Discover have left house keys in car. Swear. Trudge back to car, fetch keys, open house, fetch Landrover, jump start car. Hooray. Abandon Landrover where it is to be collected later by wife. Start driving. Car does not move. Front wheels are stuck to ice. Back wheels rotate slowly. Swear. Phone wife. Wife arrives in Pyjamas, gives me a push. Swears at me, collects Landrover, goes back to bed. Car thermometer reads -12C. On way to station a loud 'snap!' noise indicates the windscreen has just cracked. Swear swear swear! Make it to station. Discover train am supposed to be getting is broken down 3 miles down the line. Discover earlier train sufficiently delayed that can get that. Hop on board. Goddess smiling on me? Apparently not. Train trundles out of station and stops in middle of nowhere. Apparently points are frozen and we can't go the alternate route avoiding broken down train. Takes an hour to free points. Thinks, will have coffee whilst waiting. Tannoy announcement: Sorry everyone the boiler in the kitchen has broken due to a burst pipe, there is no coffee. Swear.

You been sooo busy with these issues, you might have not noticed its very cold. :)
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick Visit the Hindi forum here.

Yeah, definitely winter... We had our first snow of the season, here in New York City... Well, first snow I noticed. I mean, I think it was snow... It was only coming down for a few minutes during my walk to the subway, but they kind of looked like snowflakes. Might have been rain. Either way, wasn't enough to justify taking the umbrella out of my bag (I carry it every day to make sure it doesn't rain). It was really chilly, too. I actually wore gloves, though I probably could have managed without them. :-D
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?
