....if the weatherman says.........

Another grueller at work today.....the extra work just keeps flying in from all angles.....and the bloody boiler wasn't working again....bloody freezing in my lab!

We went out to the quiz tonight....first round of the Cup.....but we have a bye so we played each other.....just to keep our hand in......Phil, Terry and Ann versus Lee, Bob and yours truly.

The score was 51- 42.....modesty prevents me from telling you which trio won.....but I've always liked the number 51!

We came out to this....a thin covering of snow....it's March 11th for F***'s sake!
