Its Russian snow, apparently the Russians are interfering with our weather now - if they have invented a weather machine we are all done for...

Daughter had a friend over for a "sleepover"

I have vivid memories of one of the Munchkin's "sleepovers". Four of them in total all in the sitting room laid out on the seat cushions dragged off the chairs. Lady Poppy told them all to pipe down at midnight and at 1am I crashed about the house moving furniture around before bursting in* to point out there was now space for them to be separated into diffrrent rooms where they would all be on the hard floor if they did not SHUT UP!

Not a peep from any of them after that for the rest of tbe night and the two she is still in touch with both remeber it as well as I do


*before anyone asks, yes I was dressed at the time so it was not that sort of trauma that shut them up.

Greater Anglia stopping their service at 10pm last night and running few if any trains today even though it's dry with bright sunshine and no snow at all. They had to close the station at Chelmsford as there were so many angry people there. Luckily I'd already made arrangements to work from home. However I do need to be in tomorrow and apparently there are no trains until Friday!

The train companies are taking the wee wee. They claim to be stopping services early to run empty trains over the night to prevent frost. Surely trains with people on board would have the same effect?

I think there's culture of "snow fally, no worky".
