Been chucking down with snow since this morning here, should I go home or be the good contractor and work until I'm happy that the tasks for the day are cleared and I crash my car into a tree?

Snowed here in Essex for 5 minutes.
I've whacked up the heating full blast and put a jumper on. I hope I can get to work tommorow.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I'd best get down the pub then.
Don't think futurewife will accept the excuse though - it's lovely in sunny SW London."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

It's hailing now, with a rainbow to boot and all I can hear are sirens in the distance.
All the snow has melted and the hail is nearly gone as well, but this does not look good.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

Red sky in morning, Swansea's burning.
Red sky at night, the steelwork's alight!Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

Snowed here yesterday, so I had a good excuse to use a bicycle with studded tires for my commute in this morning.
Slow as a snail, took me nearly hour an' half, but the lovely noise the tires make is way better than a bell.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
