Pretty much a white-out outside this morning, with all sorts of dire warnings about the dangers of leaving your house unless you absolutely have to.
Nonetheless, I decided to set out for work (with 2 coats, a jacket, and an overnight bag with 2 changes of clothes in the car).
I did about 10 miles before deciding to turn back: firstly because it seemed to be getting worse, secondly it seemed likely that I wouldn't be able to get home even if I got to work.
Of course, I still don't have my laptop computer from work, as the Is from IT are still working on it.
Still managed to do a bit of work, though, using my own PC and emails.
Saturday night, we watched the 'Song for Europe' thingy.
Jade was a worthy winner, but I'm not sure how she'll go down on Eurovision: can't be worse than last year's, of course, and the Andrew Lloyd-Webber song was an ALW song, if that's the sort of thing you like.
I was amused by the 'cleaning up' of Jade's song 'Lady Marmalade', with 'Voulez-vous couchez avec moi' changed to 'Voulez-vous chantez avec moi'. I suppose the young kids who might be watching at that time need protecting against any suggestion of impropriety, but how many of them have a good enough grasp of French? Anyway, isn't the whole point of the song that it's about a prostitute?
The cleaning up issue seems to depend very much on which channel as well as what time, with QI (BBC1) using an enormous amount of bleeping while Gordon Ramsey (Ch 4) seems to be under contract to use at least 1 (unbleeped) 'F' word per minute on all his programmes.

Dave, your life seems uncomplicated in the extreme. How nice for you. You remind me of my good friend Kevin Musgrove (sorry, I don't do links but you will find him at mine) who often besmirches his blog with entendres - both double and single - to increase his readership. I trust you will not be doing the same.
Mrs P
How blissful to be told off (or given a warning?) by such a distinguished blogger as yourself.
I shall of course try to 'take on board' (as they say) your comments.
I may still feel tempted to besmirch my work in various ways, of course, if only to amuse myself.
I LOVE QI! And I spend a lot of my lunch hours laughing at Stephen Fry's tweets. (Hint: get yourself over to www.twitter.com, join up, and follow me (SOLOSAIR) so I can follow you. And follow stephenfry too!)
Yesterday Stephen got stuck in a lift but managed to send a tweet to his twitter followers, along with a photo of himself and his companions in the lift, even though they were stuck.... :)
The internet is truly wonderful. Especially with iPhones and Wi-Fi connections. :-)
