    I think Diver just likes flying in the air ambulance.
    Probably got enough airmiles to use their lounge now.

      Next door's garage is in the garden, you know, where the drive runs up the side of the house.

      Their drive was covered with those clear corrugated plastic sheets. Not the use of the past tense: "was covered".

      The 'home office' in this house is the garage; it is parallel to their drive and the 'roof' on their drive was attached to this garage.

      It didn't half make a loud and funny noise a few moments ago. Peering out of the upstairs window ... it is not where it was.

      It's heavy, this wet, slushy snow.

      And there are 'bad words' coming from next door...


      I'd go and help but it's cold out there and he's a miserable bugger.

Then, they say the snow has finished and we get a day of nearly constant snow. And, they said it would stay freezing all week - on Sunday we couldn't sleep from all the crashing as snow fell of roofs in a pretty dramatic thaw.
          If you want to know the next few hours this is a much better bet

            Mrs PL informs me that Cardiff airport is currently shut. The 6am AMS flight is still on the tarmac.

            This better not be the case tomorrow eve or I will not be a happy bunny. If it is, my "plans for the weekend" entry will be a bit of a rant!

              There's some frantic hammering coming through the wall from next door.

              But if I cared, I wouldn't be sniggering.

                Just as most of it had thawed

                  What would make you go out and 'help'?
