Work. Bitterly cold day, with a hard frost that made the pavements glitter and slippy. So we left a little earlier from the bungalow to walk to the bus stop. I automatically tense up, always have in icy conditions, terrified of falling, and that actually hurts more making my legs and lower back hurt. I was talking to Louise on the bus home and she said that she is the same. It's nice to compare notes with someone who understands. Apart from a busy day, everyone was shopping early because of the predicted snow storm and the self scan checkouts were down, so they had to come through the regular ones. Apparently some customer the night before had spilt a whole Starbucks over one of the self scan units and it obviously blew the lot. Just one of those things, I guess. We got home, and expected snow to arrive. It did, but overnight and not much. By 5.30 am as we got up it had turned to rain and although slippy with slush it was fairly easily navigated to the bus stop. The Cotgrave was mostly on time and we made it into town in enough time to get a tram up the hill to catch the 58.
The morning was fairly quiet, most people sensibly avoiding coming out in the bad conditions. There was more snow in Arnold than Cotgrave, but it soon did one with the rain we had. By the time we got into the city there were huge puddles around. We were soaked through, and hung our coats over the shower area to dry. Trousers and tights were soaked and I towel dried before jumping in my pjs and oodie. Pottery Throw Down has started again as well as Hunted so we had plenty to watch with Charlotte when she came round.
