Sleet

I had only walked about one hundred yards this morning, on my way to get the bus, when the sleet started.  I was a sodden mess by the time I reached the bus stop.  Horrid.  Being Monday the office was freezing, and as it is the school holiday week, the office was pretty empty .  I didn’t leave my desk apart from a couple of meetings.  The weather varied throughout the day, black outs, white outs and sunshine.

When I left this evening it was driving sleet again and once more I was a sodden mess when I got my bus.  Everything was white out here in the sticks, but walking back home was horrid, slushy, icy and just generally treacherous. I think we’ve had it all today – wind, rain, sleet and snow.

I got home to find out that the boiler has given up the ghost.  TT had lit the fire and had a heater on.  That is bad timing.  Even worse was that I had to sit and do some work with many layers on to keep warm!

A not very good view of the sleet  from the bus stop, with the remains of the first proper snow at home in the extra.
