    Oh Yes!

    Woke expecting to see loads of the white cold stuff on the ground but all that was there is remaining from Monday's blizard.

    Trains & ferry running fine although starting to see blocks of ice in the river.

    Snowing at the mo but not too bad.

    fingers, toes, legs and arms crossed for flights running on time (ish) later.

          Dank. Extremely.

          Drizzley. Amazingly.

          Wet. Unpleasantly.

          Hill steep.

          Different shoes, so avoided slippery bit.

          Train on time at 2 mins late.

          One statutory blind person.

          Zero winos or dogs.

          Skool barely in view due to the extreme gloom.

          Wednesday.

          Is it Easter yet?



          100mm of rain forecast for West Wales today.
          Sorry to be the harbinger of doom but...

          Easter is late this year.

            Remarkably warm in a warmish sort of way.
            First time in a week I haven't woken to the sound of rain.

            Outside temp 11° C

            Still grey and damp though.

              Not quite so dark, in fact, almost light.

              Sun coming up like thunder from Port Talbot 'cross the bay.

              Not raining, hailing, sleeting or snowing.

              Colder. Heavy frost on cars this morn.

              Train on time at less than 1 minute late.

              Blind person in approved position.

              Hill steep. Not slippery.

              Skool plainly in view.

              Tuesday.
              Pure poetry. A glimmer of cheer from the dark despair of winter. A waft of honeyed perfume, hinting at the warmth and glorious brightness to come. A chink in the armour of ice. A wonderful message: it shines like a shaft of gold when all around is dark.

              Like a stream of bat's piss.

                Snowing here, view of the lake out the window very pretty.

                Outside by the lake not so much.

                No sun, so I guess it's staying.

                  I think you'll find, that's the definition of a blind person.

                    Are you sure it was a skool and not a flying saucer?
