Snow!!!

Yes, it snowed here this week! They say it's the heaviest snowfall for about 20 years or something like that, all I know it that it brought the country to a complete standstill as usual! No buses in London, no trains, limited underground in London, roads blocked, accidents, broken down cars etc etc etc. I made it to the office, but could not go to Essex to collect my new training dogs. That's now planned for next Monday. So, I've had a week of 'bits and pieces' and paperwork, catching up on overdue stuff. Hopefully, tomorrow and Friday I will get some work done on my current assignment. Wish me luck, and lots of motivation!

(Still no home computer, so snow photo's to follow!)

Old friends

This evening (Saturday) I've been out to a school reunion of sorts. It was an informal gathering organised via facebook, and there were about 20ish people who turned up. I recognised most people, and it was a really nice evening getting re-aquainted with people I haven't seen for over 20 years.

I went to Tescos this afternoon which itself is not really a blog-worthy event, but I got a fab new cat scratching post. I've wanted to get a new one for the cats for ages but the ones I like have all been around £60-80. This one was £20. The cats seem to like it, Woody is asleep on it right now as I type!

Pictures of both the above events will follow, but right now my computer is with my Brother-in-Law being 'sorted out' after I tried to install some software that went wrong.... I am currently using my work laptop and can't download photo's from my camera onto it. Still, at least I can access the internet while my own computer is away.
