Monday: Traffic Lights

Unbelievably, there were more snow flurries this morning. People keep telling me that this winter has been atypical but, for an atypical winter, it sure has snowed often.

So, I have a little bugbear here. Actually, two. I have quite a lot of breakfasts and lunches out and my bugbears are this - being asked by the person escorting me to my table how my day is going so far (particularly at breakfast, when my day hasn't had a chance to develop). The thing is, it's not like they're really interested.

And the second is constantly being asked 'how are those first bites working out for you?' Today, my lunch companion and I were asked four times, by three different people (one asked twice because we hadn't even taken a first bite when he first asked)..............

Anyway, the snow didn't come to much.
