More snow


Global warming continues with a vengeance here in Blighty... as you can see from the view out of the bedroom window this morning. I'm going to turn my heating off to see if I can't stop this infernal climate change. I may freeze in the process but it's surely a price worth paying in order to save the earth. Mind you, knowing my luck an asteroid will probably hit the globe just as we've managed to stop global warming.

I'm hoping the snow will melt before tomorrow as I have to make a 60 mile journey to the hospital and I don't have a 4x4 vehicle to go in. I can't drive at the moment so my 74-year-old mother has volunteered but I'm not too sure that she'll be comfortable driving in this sort of weather. Where's Father Christmas when you need him?

  3. Aren't you entitled to being transported to hospital by the red cross?
    Best wishes! Barbara (Styria)

  4. Well, if your car doesn't wear winter tyres and if you feel in any way uneasy about venturing out into the snow, it will probably your best option to postpone the hospital appointment until miglioration of road conditions. You'd surely feel awkward if your car gets stuck into a snowdrift. Best wishes! Barbara

  7. Funny how UK's fattest man gets an all expense paid (taxpayer funded) trip to a stomach banding operation, while you are stuck at home...

  9. Hi ETM, sorry you can't make it to the hospital today but probably just a well with all the snow lying around.
    I watched an episode of the hairy bikers recently. Yikes! I think if they were involved with hospital food everyone would be obese not malnourished !
    Pleased to hear you are making good progress, I've been reading if not posting ;o)

  10. Oh no that's pants! I have to make the 2hr journey to my hospital on monday for treatment...thankfully the trains aren't too bad, I just hope the buses are going out to the hospital okay once I get to birmingham!

    Hope you're keeping well otherwise, :o)

  11. Do I detect a note of skepticism in global warming? In Canada the winters are cold and shitty but this year is more so and extends all the way down to Florida. I've been watching the weather in England and Europe with interest and wonder when the warming trend is going to kick in. Sorry KOSMOS but no sign of warming in this hemisphere. Watch your step on the ice T Man, or you may be back eating hospital food before you know it.
