jencat | snow day!

Oh lordy, it was chaos today.

I eventually gave up on going into work when I found out everyone that lived within possible walking distance had made it in, so all the patient stuff was kinda covered, and I will have to figure out a way to get there tomorrow...

Instead, I went for a long wander with the Doodle Dog (Doodle Dog: "Best. Day. Evah!!") in which we kicked lots of snow and the doodle tried to steal the carrot noses from every snowman we saw (and all the schools were closed, so there were a lot of snowmen...) and then tried to join in all the snowball fights. You'd really think he'd be more tired now...

Most of the day was taken up with a wonderfully timely burst pipe under my sister's bath... After all the snow-wading (weirdly tiring!) I had to go home, collect bags of beach towels and walk back round to her flat so we could start mopping up. There was much tea-making for the nice plumber and ripping up (new) carpets and underlay to dry, and then the hairdryer.. gawd, that was a complete waste of a day!

Apparently the queue on the M25 today was... 53 miles! Heh, new record, methinks...
