    Is this practice for when the 12 tonnes of snow come through the ceilings?


    (AKA the "SuitYou Glacier")

    That's the least of their worries. We "saw" a snow dragon.

    So I shall have a cup of tea, build a snowman, then set up base camp in the dining room. Base camp on the way to the north pole with the kids. With a base camp made of dining room chairs and sheets the vast white wastelands of the arctic await our imaginations.

    With polar bears (dog) and penguins (cats) to litter our view should be exciting.

    Take your Nintendos and shove em. Imagination is far better. I shall report back from the north pole.

    To everyone else on staycation, I bid you au revoir.

    That's nothing. I used the term "Chrimble" meaning Christmas in another thread. You wait for my "tunes to hum and really annoy you" thread.

    I have this image of a grown man under the dinning tables, mumbling away to himself, while the kids occasionally pass on the stairs, on route to the next game station, giving each other raised eyebrow looks.

    I'm now absolutely b*ggered sitting here with a cuppa soup while the 'horrors' are lobbing snowballs at one another outside.
    Did you find an aurora?
