Snow

[Bonzo Dog]

We've had nothing for the last 2 years.

Show off!!

 

[Archie's Mum]

Did that ‘thing’ roll over?

 

[Chimp]

No, it's an Australian gritter

 

[MollyMay]

groan........

I was thinking, I bet the owners of the house are glad they have sold it!

 

[Bay Horse]

Was the gritter driver okay?

It's very icy out there today (snow and slush has frozen solid) and just about to try the roads. I have an old horse waiting, otherwise I wouldn't be going out.

 

[Bonzo Dog]

It seems to have fishtailed on the last bit of the hill while slowing down for the adverse camber bend. I just wish the photographer had taken a wider angle shot. It would show the gritter had just passed a sign:

Welcome to Elford
Please drive carefully

[MollyMay]

+2 and raining here, I hope it moves up towards you soon.

Bludge day lots of time for genealogy

 

[Bonzo Dog]

Yes please Molly. It's still -3, so I'm planning on going nowhere, again. I won't even risk walking round to the local shop.

I have an old horse waiting, otherwise I wouldn't be going out.

My daughter is saying the same thing.

I understand the only injuries the gritter driver suffered were to his pride.

 

[Archie's Mum]

No, it's an Australian gritter

Couldn’t be a Australian one. It would go rusty from lack of use.

Ratbag!

I have just taken my car in for a service and MOT. A lot of the snow is melting and turning to slush. However, we have temperatures of -5C forecast for tonight, which means that the roads will be like skating rinks in the morning.

 

[Archie's Mum]

What is MOT?
Ah ha......you mean a rego check?

 

[Daft Bat]

What is MOT?

Ah. A vehicle safety inspection that has to take place each year - and passed. Otherwise, the vehicle is deemed not roadworthy and, should you drive the vehicle without it, you can be prosecuted.

 

[Archie's Mum]

As in post 34....a rego check Australia wide

 

[LianeH]

Well the train company got me here - it remains to be seen whether they get us home again but having spent 7 1/2 hours on the M25 yesterday afternoon, I'm used to waiting - providing I have a seat

Its absolutely tipping down here in London so as Jan says it will all be slush by tonight and then freeze - the walk in to the station was bad enough this morning - Oh I'm so looking forward to starting my new job.....locally

 

[Chimp]

It's supposed to be getting down to -12 here tonight. That'll make for fun on the roads tomorrow

 

[MollyMay]

Yikes - stay warm Chimp.
