In other snow-related news, I slipped and fell on my arse in the snow on Friday night. I'm sure the 6 pints didn't help my balance, but still. I fell a bit awkwardly and my left leg is sore. :cry:

0° = brrrr ;D

reminds me of the radio a couple of days ago, some woman suggested (and was sure of this) no one is aloud to work if the temperature is below 18° ... at the moment it is between 5° and 10° at work and we have firewood to last just over a week :roll: ... some people

I'm without electricity and without water (even cold) since Friday, and it's said to be fixed MAYBE by Saturday.
Outside the snow and ice and trees broken by the wieght of it make it impossible to open the garage and drive out to the town.
Right now I'm at work - got here by bus, the fourth one in the morning, because the first 3 just didn't appear. Tomorrow I'm going to wash in the office's bathroom here. Last night I washed in a molten snow (thank God it was still + 12 degrees inside the house, so it could melt). :-) Snow is also the current means to flush the toilet. Oh, and the food I had in the freezer is now sat in the pile of snow and neatly covered with ice.
Tonight I'm going to buy 200 candles, a litre of rum, and 5 pairs of knickers (because the washing machine doesn't work without electricity, haha) and I hope I'll survive this week. :D
Kill the lights in the middle of the road, wahoo! 8)
