All Grown Up
Feb 2nd, 2009 by rgolbourn
It’s days like today that I realise how rubbish it is being a grown-up. The most snow this country has been for over a decade and instead of worrying about having to share a sledge I’m stuck at work..inside..
With any luck at all I’ll be going home at lunch time as everyone is cancelling their appointments..so here’s hoping. If possible I’ll rope in anyone I can to brave the elements to build a snow man with me.
So, all you university types, when you’re chucking the cold white stuff we call snow at each other (if indeed you still get as excited as me at the sight of it), spare a thought for me and be happy that you do’t have full time jobs!!
Hope you all enjoy the snow anyway 
.
Everything has ground to a halt. I braved the slush with my bike only to discover that 4 of 40 of our class were there, and no technician to open the studios. So off home I went. There is now a proud snowoman in the garden!
In Switzerland, do you think they have days off school when the snow melts? “Oh my God, it’s so trechorous out there! There’s no snow to drive on!”
Hope you get out into the funs later Robyn, I hear the snow is set in for a couple of days?
Free time? I have forgotten what such a thing is.
The snow shall have to be admired from inside, for me.
Happily, I managed to clock off at lunch time yesterday (Monday). All the patients cancelled which was rather fortunate. I built a girl snowman in the back garden complete with ivy ‘buttons’ and a pink ‘scarf’ (made from a piece of old ribbon). I think it’s business as usual from now on though unless it decides to snow some more (fingers crossed).
Sigh, the snow was indeed prettiful and troublesome. Monday was the day before my lectures started…All that snow and no-one to share it with. Just before I left for Oxford (When the blizzard that was High Wycombe quietened down a bit) I threw a small snowball at my dad’s motobike for the hell of it. It was fun. I did it again
My dad’s motorbike, obviously annoyed at its inability to throw one back, starting beeping ominously… :shock : Terrified that the alarm would go off, I legged it up the drive in my boots and got in the car. Luckily, the bike forgave me and didn’t start screaming like a banshee. 
I was chuffed.
Ditto to Adam’s post…no time to play in the snow for me :frown:
