debithaStuffy sinuses, scratchy throat, sneezing, random temperature fluctuations... IT MUST BE CHRISTMAS!
I worked from home today. Possibly I could have got down off my hill safely, but I was too chicken to try. The possible consequences of it going horribly wrong were to unpleasant to contemplate.
"What's the problem?" I hear you ask. "You drive down that hill every day."
That is true. The thing is though, that my road doesn't usually look like this.
That was just before 8 o'clock this morning. The main road is a long way down, kids.
And here's my back garden at about 7. Just because.

Date: 2009-12-22 07:05 am (UTC)We left England when I was 6 so I learnt to drive in Newcastle, Aus. I think we've only had ice on the road a few times. Plenty of water, gravel, roos, rabbits etc but not snow.
I don't blame you for not wanting to drive.
