Lovely Weather We're Having

[debitha]

The last couple of days in the area have been very frosty. No really. See how white it all is? Frost.



Only, yesterday the snow kicked in as well. Now before you make mock, keep in mind that most of England doesn't get a lot of snow on a regular basis, and the South West very rarely. This is the second time in nearly 7 years I've seen a significant amount of snow on the ground. So I'm working from home. In fairness, I wandered out the front about half an hour ago and no one has even thought about trying to get their car out. Not from my road, anyway.

I'd say I was staying safe, except that I slipped on the stairs earlier and fell down. No major damage, but I've definitely jarred my back a bit. Flatmate's second response was, "Are you OK?" Her first response was, "Well that was clever." Funnily enough she got told to fuck off.

Ooooh, spot who's in a bit of a mood.

Anyway. Here is my back garden as of 8.30 this morning.

That's it, I'm moving in with you.

*is sweaty and grumpy*

I agree completely and am feeling the same way.

I'll even offer back massages for your back Deb, to sweeten the deal.


*hugs gently* Get a heat pack/hot water bottle on your back and take it easy, if possible with work. Goodluck!

I'm mostly doing a lot of phone calls from home. A pain in the arse, but nothing too strenuous.

Mostly I'm just cranky from giving myself a shock.

*hugs* Still, sore and being grumpy doesn't make the job any easier.

D'awww. *hands you virtual chocolate, if that would help*

[debitha.livejournal.com]

No, feeling cranky while making phone calls does not work so well.

Mmmmm chocolate. I have chocolate somewhere...

[kittiword.livejournal.com]

I could imagine. You have a stress ball yet? *g*

Heh, chocolate makes everything better.

As long as you don't try to be funny when I've hurt myself, you're in.

Or we could swap. I've found I'm OK up to mid-30s.

I live with someone with chronic pain. I'm very good at compassionating, fetching and carrying, etc.

It gets hotter than mid-30s here. You'd be well glad of the air conditioning.

Right now I'd be well glad of the flatmate not leaving the front door wide open for 5 minutes while she puts her coat on. "It's OK", she said when I asked her to close the door, "I'm going back outside."

I continue to be proud of my self-restraint in allowing her to live. (Some days I should not interact with people.)

[iamshadow.livejournal.com]

Letting the heat out is NOT ON.

[kittiword.livejournal.com]

I agree! That is NOT COOL. Especially on the damn power bill.

Congratulations, your self-restraint is legendary. I'll be extremely closed to growling. (And yes, some days people=bad.)

[debitha.livejournal.com]

But it's OK. Because she's going back outside.

*headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk*

*puts pillow between your head and the desk*

Good work on not face-shooting her. That will tend to keep you on the right side of the authorities.

Now, locking her out however... Will not affect anyone except her, and *it's okay* you are just staying back inside. She can come back in later.

I'm grumpy. And therefore evil. And probably wouldn't do that in real life, but the thought is there

[debitha.livejournal.com]

I am going to cheer myself up by imagining that scenario.

*imagines*

Yep, it's working!

*giggles* Glad to be of service :D

I admit, I miss snow. I'm too close to the sea in Dunedin or Timaru to see it often.
