The View From The Office Window Today...

A white world (taken with a phone camera through a dirty, steamy window)...

Last night we had hailstones... this morning when I peeked out the curtains at home, the ground had a couple of inches of snow, and falling from the sky was a steady, slow, leisurely curtain of those really small, fluffy and really pretty snowflakes.

As I mentioned yesterday, we were supposed to be shut for stock-taking yesterday and today, but that didn't happen. Well, the snow would have stopped half our counters getting into work anyway - we had to shut the shop after all because the lass was stranded in the country. Unfortunately, my taxi (only just) managed to get me up to the office, where I had to stay while the boss spent 90% of the day away on some errand or another. Not that it was busy... we might as well have stayed shut. But, hey, it IS my paid Saturday, so I shouldn't complain.

Boss is away next week - I've got Monday and the start of Tuesday in the shop, then I'm in the office the rest of the time, apart from college on Wednesday morning... Honestly, it's a job to know where I am half the time just now!

Well, I'm just about to bugger off for something to eat, and to check my lottery numbers... and then I think a DVD and a glass of something vaguely alcoholic, maybe. Catch ya later...
