Mega Snow Day!

Huge amounts of snow fall has meant that for the first time ever I've got a bonus day off work. As such, I decided to do something productive with it (made easier being as the postman can't get through with my latest films off Lovefilm or the books I ordered off Amazon), and finally writing a blog falls into that lovely grey area between actually being productive and not.

I think I'm right in saying that the last twenty-four hours or so has seen as much snow-fall as I've ever seen in my lifetime, although some people on the street are taking about the great snow fall of '84 or some such year. It snowed a lot last year, but not in such a short space of time. In places where the snow has drifted up onto the verges of people's gardens, the snow is knee deep (and I'm around 6'1”/6'2”), though the general height of the fall comes to the middle of my shin, to use a technical term for measurement.

Here is Dad struggling in the snow (watching him was funnier than helping him):

And here are some more pictures of the snow outside:

Me and Dad took a trip to the super-market. Lots of people panic buying bread and milk, but we refused to be drawn into such madness. I was a numpty and forgot to take the camera with me, and as such missed lots of nice views in Greenhill Village and Graves Park, and the sight of Meadowhead Roundabout with no traffic.

It was a long trek, which took about thirty minutes longer than it should have due to the conditions, and to us taking a different route back – which lead to lots of us struggling for footing on uneven ground; but we at last returned triumphantly from our arduous journey with supplies of bread, milk and Magnum ice creams. It's always ice cream weather.

And now, I *will* actually begin work on something actually productive, as easy as it'd be to spend the day on Football Manager 11.

I'll leave with a quick shill, for the one person that'll have read this. In case you haven't been doing so already, check out Fake-Geeks, a website I set-up and review for and occasionally a chap called Gaz posts stuff too. I recently reviewed two new cinema releases, Unstoppable and Machete, but there's other musings posted on there too.

Have fun with your day, and bye for now.
