I have my cranky pants on again.

Yesterday I (among others who had been working from home) were asked to "make the effort if possible by train/taxi to get here if not happy driving and treat tomorrow as a normal working day". Maybe I'm over-reacting, but I feel like the implication is that if we're not at the office we must be treating it like a holiday. So I trudged out into the icy compacted snow all over the footpaths, managed to get a bus down to town, and then the train. I have had to medicate for a tension headache, and am in a thoroughly pissy mood. I am here. I wish them much joy of me.

And so this isn't entirely a post about my bad mood, have a pretty picture of Britain from space.

Isn't that picture amazing? It made the front page of the Times today (and at least one of the other papers, as I saw in the newsagents). Yesterday's Times was forecasting another biggish dump of snow to come in today as far as London, but so far we've had four measly flakes.

We had a heavy but brief flurry a while ago, but I'm hoping it'll hold off, as I really want to go across town tomorrow, which will mean driving down my hill, across the valley and up the other side.

The Met Office suggests that it will be messy come Sunday.

Silly work. How dare you possibly work from home. *hugs* I hope your headache went away.

Oooooh. That is pretteh! Still, I don't think I would to see that much snow when you have to work, or you need groceries.

Bloody inconsiderate, I call it.

Yeah, I managed to ditch the headache eventually. And the mood. Had a nice dinner with my neighbour last night as well.
