Snowing in Manchester

But it is too wet to stick I reckon so will just make everywhere wet n slushy.

Nothing here yet, but the satellite projections suggest the worst/best of it will dissipate before it reaches us anyway

BREAKING: there's been a very small amount of rain

[NickFitz]

Raining fairly steadily now, but the weather app is optimistic that it'll turn into snow in an hour or so…

Late lunch of a bowl of Scotch broth out of the freezer, with some wholemeal bread

Snow on the hills above about 300 feet.

X5 home again, jiggety jig.

Tea/dinner was M&S breaded haddock which I managed not to cook to death.

Dunno wot to watch this evening once I've done the necessary.

However that might be defined.

Really looking forward to spending 4.5 hours on assorted buses tomorrow.

Just ventured Specifically Into General.

There were a couple of threads that didn't raise the urge to kill.

I must be getting better.

Tonight's epic turned out to be "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon(1949)" with that John Wayne chap.

I enjoyed it, nonsense as it is.

Felt rather sorry for the Native Americans, as one so often does.

One also wondered quite how radioactive Monument Valley was at the time, what with the Military Industrial Complex letting off nukes here there & everywhere just because they could.

Including the one about the student being poisoned by spaghetti?

Including the one about the student being poisoned by spaghetti?

Yup, that was one of them.

The leather barbed wire was the other.

Having watched The Duke doing his stuff in Monument Vallley in 1949, I wondered how contaminated it was at the time from all the testing, but I've not found much so far.

The real bummer was around the time of "The Conquerer" which killed a lot of people.

I suppose taking a shedload of radioactive sand back to California didn't exactly help a lot.

Tea has been ribs and chips, which was very nice

The snow never showed up or, if it did, was of such brief duration and limited persistence that I never noticed it

This evening's mayhem was courtesy of Law Abiding Citizen (2009), in which Gerard Butler's family are brutally murdered by a couple of low-lifes. When one of them then gets off lightly on a plea deal for dobbing the other one in, he sets out to take his revenge: not just on them, but on the entire justice system that allowed that to happen.

And he does a very thorough and well-organised job, too; there's some pretty graphic violence in there, but it's good if you can stomach that. Worth a watch should it come your way

Goodnight all
