Most people went back to work today, but for me this was the last day of the holiday.
We decided to do a quick run to the supermarket and then set off on a small quest to buy me some boots that don’t leak. Good thing we did, since judging by the weather forecast, I may need those new boots tomorrow.
Our car has remained idle for several days and was wrapped in a rather impressive layer of ice, so our quick trip to the shops turned into a rather more major undertaking than we had anticipated. Our ice-scraping did uncover some very beautiful frost patterns though.
Back to school tomorrow.
Now don’t get me wrong, I like my job. But I like the holidays rather more.
LOIS – Oh dear! I fear that all this snow will have extended your Xmas holidays! Not to worry, I am sure you will volunteer to make up for the lost days by teaching your willing charges during the Easter break. If I didn’t say before – Happy New Year!
You can have your kiddies calculating how many snowflakes have fallen on Sheffield in the last 48 hours – this will make their mathematics seem more relevant to real life. Also how many grains of rock salt have been spread on our street this winter? Answer – nil!
Steady on YP – a day off for snow? Surely not…
Actually, we were sent home early, so I found myself with an unexpectedly relaxing afternoon. Very nice. I think I would find working part-time rather appealling, if only it wasn’t for the part-time pay 😉
The ice patterns are excellent! Jack Frost is a true artist.
