As I'm over for a couple of months, might as we'll earn a bit of pocket money

I've managed 10 years without succumbing to the tempation

Annual night shoot last night. Lovely night with no wind but bloody cold.

It finished late and it was nearly midnight by the time I got home.

Few hours kip and getting ready to set off down to MCL.

Looked out the window and gone 'oooooh'

LBlizzards south east style! I’ve not left for work and cancelled my 10 o’clock meeting!

Sitting watching snow fall - at blooming last!!!

Not too much right now but loads forecast this week Downside is that I do really want to get to the valley for a blood test - have messaged a friend to see if I can borrow his car!

But either way - I do so love snow Just got to find where I put all my hats n gloves n scarves!!

You soft tart.

We've had a light duting in West Lancs.



Another reason to be glad that my trucking day's are over

Pah, I've driven 25 miles to the office, bossing it in the snow in my Swedish pimp wagon.

Took me ages to get all the snow off the car, shouldn't have bothered, no fucker else on the commute had, snow falling off cars all over the shop.

Dissolved snow here on the Sarf Coast. It’s urinating down! Staffie rebellion has occurred and there is lots of heavy sighing and judgemental looks when the back door is opened.

Nanny state plastic brains wouldn’t let him and he’s told old (ie over 18) to figure out the Scandi menus to get to the “off” switch.

Leccy hand brake too. Does the Scandi Flick work with FWD?

Pfffft, I did 85 miles into work, after reading about how Armageddon had come and the roads were impassable, and the local council hadn't gritted 'owt.

Nah - I'd have been singing Christmas songs whilst taking pot shots at the arseholes dropping snow off their cars or driving with fog lights on in the rain!!

No snow here

Very (very)briefly considered taking a bike to work this morning as hadn't ridden either for 10 days due to man flu and decided not to bother - Cue snow.
In other news the next door neighbor's cat has turned up so that's a win

That reminds me of the time I picked a trailer up from the docks,midwinter & freezing,I had to bang all the ice from the airline connectors so that I could connect the tractor unit to the trailer.After I got everything sorted & got things moving I got to the end of the docks,did a sharp turn & 45ft/13.6 mtr of ice crashed from the trailer roof.The joys of trucking
