Cometh the Gritters- Again

Just when I thought life was returning to some sort of normality, we're off again: blizzard, a white out and cleared roads covered again in inches of snow. The snow has been falling here since 8 am and shows no sign of stopping. We're back to square one.

It's such a palaver to go outside: all this donning of bad weather clothing and pulling on of walking boots with yards of irritating laces.
My wellies went the way of many things before we left the castle and hopefully will be gracing other needy person's size 4's. But they would be useful to me now.

For something to do, I took myself off through the snowdrifts to that haven of music, beat and testosterone, there to rub muscles with the young and lithe. The only fat person strutting her stuff today seemed to be me- I rather like it when there is someone else present more adequately covered in insulation.

Back home now for a shower and of course, so hungry I could eat a horse, or at least a Danish pastry. That's the problem with gym attendance, I work up an appetite, that if satisfied, negates any calories burned.

Although I look upon blipfoto as a kind of pictorial diary : a journal of my everyday life, to keep and look back on when resident in my old folks' home, nevertheless I'm always chufffed that other people look at the photo, read the blog or both.

So you can imagine how pleased I was that so many of you popped by yesterday and left your comments. You made a lady of a certain age very happy.

Not only that, you made a lord of a more certain age secretly delighted that some people made kind remarks about him- I think that was his reason for checking on the site quite as much as he did! So a huge 'Thank You' all round to you dear kind people!
