Again bitterly cold, I layered up, tights, socks, thermal cami, t shirt and Christmas jumper. Work trousers and big padded coat, ear muffs and fingerless gloves.
It was cold on the checkouts but, luckily it was mega busy so I didn't have chance to think about it.
We made the Calverton by the skin of our teeth, and walked down the hill in the hopes of catching the 33. We did, but again, by a hair!
We got home, Kev put jacket potatoes in while we got changed and thawed out. Hot mulled cider tea.
We watched another couple Mayfair Witches episodes and then an early night ready for work.
Sunday.
The alarm went off, and we got up and dressed. Kev opened the curtains to find a blanket of snow. We had breakfast and did all the usual routine before work. Only then did Kev check the bus times. Only to discover that not only were the buses in Cotgrave not running, but the NCT weren't either.
Snow day it was, Kev called in work and told them we couldn't get. The last time Kev and Charlotte got stuck in town and Kev fell, looking for a taxi to get them home, found one who charged them the earth, and then refused to take them any further than the Shepherds leaving them to walk all that way to the village. They got home around 8.30 pm. Not willing to risk me falling again, or the weather to get worse leaving us stranded, I'd rather lose a day's pay, and a possible reprimand.
Luckily we had food in thinking we'd be at work, so we changed and did the indoor Christmas decorations.
