Nothing, got no work today. I'm sat in front of the logburner with some brew

Was a minute late. I should have just done what a load of other folk do and just not turn up!

Not too many cars out so I already felt safer.

If I could stick a 21" wheel and some knobblies on the SV it would be perfect.

"They" are forecasting another downfall in the next coupla hours, but I will have tickled the throttle and toddled off home by then.

Love the chaos.

2 hours 50 minutes, Home to Leeds. Best I've done it in is 2 hours, so not so bad. Leeds area and the M62 is just a disaster tonight though.

The really annoying thing is the main reason for coming up was to meet a customer tomorrow, who has cancelled because there is more snow FORECAST!! If they get up tomorrow morning and there's a few inches of snow, then fair enough, but the amount of things that get cancelled as soon as snow is forecast is just PATHETIC!!

No commute for me - decided yesterday when i spent most of the afternoon dogging people out that I was taling facility time. however car still under snow despite being cleared yesterday - main roads are now covered again (NLC are concentrating on airdrie and coatbridge??) so despite the main road being max 2om from where my car is its the bus tmw which will take on a normal day 1hr 20 so you guess is a good as mine - hoping I'll go in turn round and go home again!

40 mile commute into work yesterday was 2 hours, usually 45 minutes, and today my homeward trip was 3 hours, 2 hours the last 10 miles, got stuck in between Sherburn and Higher Pittington. Shovel RB in the boot came out to play :0(
