Nuala's Corner - closing time

Actual snow fell last night here for the first time this winter, a two kettle morning for me to get the car started, six kettle plus for Z!
After a slow drive to Cork for the work the thaw settled in later to make it quite a pleasant one outside, spent a few turgid hours inside alright working on a tender, but now the weekend. Though an early start (5.45am-ish) to get the boy up to Dublin for a concert of youth orchestras in the National Concert Hall, so it may be Sunday before I blip, you'll all just have to be brave and bear up.
