SNOW DAY!

[gemsybobsy]

No chance of driving in this. Have been in jim-jams most of day. Still got to Sid's house to clean this morning, as it's a walkable distance away. I traipsed over on foot and brought Sid back here for the day, so yay - still made some money. So yeah, I got the heating and my dressing gown and a proper-good sofa nest whacked right under the grill, and I've just been:

- Eating apples, cake, chocolate* and peanut butter. Healthy. AND MINCE PIES!
- Sorting out the plethora of books that are tossed all over the house as Sue gave me two whole bags full yesterday and I couldn't wait to take them upstairs before I rummaged through them. Books!
- Talking to myself on Twitter.
- Writing Christmas cards.
- Filing November's expenses.
- Cross-stitching.
- Watching episodes of the Jeremy Brett (epic love) Sherlock Holmes series, and the new film too because I was dubious but it is actually pretty cool. Believe I am bordering on The Line between fan and Fan...
- Reading Tess of the D'Urbervilles, which is totally pissing me off, and a crime-sort-of-novel wot I can't remember the name of - left it upstairs.
- Allowing ELO to solidly rock my world.
- Laundry. Lots of it.
- Cleaning the bathrooms.
- Sorting out/refilling my cleaning kit.
- Singing loudly.
- Running around the empty streets out the front of my house (usually busy main road) with unleashed barking dogs, just because we can. Floyd and snow = hilarity. Beard goes white. <3.

Tomorrow I wouldn't mind visiting Dr G and the bank, but I don't know if I should risk those darn hills when the white stuff gets more slippery. Require sledge and huskies, pronto. I would normally kill for a duvet day like this, but of course because I can't go out, I want to. Damnit.

* I owe Jon some chocolate.

Sounds like a nice day ... We didn't get much snow here - seems you guys in the UK got the worst of it this year.

Hey, icon snap! :D
Yeah it's unusual for us to get it this far South, but we've seen a lot these last few years!

I'm with you there. Normally, a snow day would be a massive win for student teachers everywhere. But the opinion I'm getting from most is that its screwing our chances for improvement in our final week because we haven't had time do get anything done :( Plus I'm in bed with my second bad cold of the placement so I'm miserable.

I love dogs in snow. I wish I could see my dog, I bet he's being a pansy about the whole thing :)

Awww rubbish, you can't even enjoy the time off if you feel ill! Hope you feel better soon. I took a vid of the dogs in the snow, I will post it up later!

My mom was lolling really hard the other day watching some classic Holmes (I don't know whose). Apparently there was a scene where some Continental heiress or something was flirting up a storm with him, trying to get him to escort her to some party or event the next day. He was basically all, "erm, no. I'm a BACHELOR. With a MALE ROOMMATE. *shot of Watson spinning away on the dancefloor like a big nellie queen*" It took her a while to get the hint, olololol. We were shocked that they were so blatant about it back in the day.

LOL OMFG BIG NELLIE QUEEN. I DO so love all those little moments! There was one episode I watched at the weekend where Mycroft was all (paraphrasing of course), 'Still not into the ladies then, eh?' and Jeremy Brett purses his lips and swooshes about like the queen of Sheba. Hahaha. Amazery.
