Good, in fact, I'm on my 2nd one. Just wanted to cut down on coffee, making too many cups per day working from home.

Yorkshire Tea by the way ;)

Just back from being a ski shuttle!! LOL Sort of

Couple of friends wanted to do the run from the top of out bit of resort down to a place the buses don't run at the moment. He has a car with 4WD and winter tyres (English, but I drive both out here!).

So, I just did two loops of the resort in an automatic Ford Kuga. I really like Auto on snow (lots of snow - just can't work out how to get the video from my phone to here!).

And it went from zero visibility when I dropped them at the top the first time to sunny, then just a bit cloudy!! Awesome to see the grins on their faces!!

If I get back from the valley in time tomorrow, he's offered to drive me so I can have a ski :banana-dance: :banana-dance: :banana-dance:

Yawned while taking a shower this morning & accidentally inhaled a huge clump (is that the right word?) of soap suds.

I don't recommend you try it...

I've been bloody gypped again. Yesterday it was discovering that Huckleberries are in fact Blueberries (even if some of them are red), Today I discovered that Marionberries are just Blackberries with good PR.
