Tuesday midday....

Snow surrounds cottages near the Seven Sisters cliffs near Eastbourne in South-East England.





...and the snow we had last Tuesday onwards is still lying on the ground! And I am REALLY BORED WITH IT now! Yesterday (Monday) the Focus refused to start, with a flat battery. So I managed to get Julies car round it, and jump started it, but decided to put the Focus battery on charge, anyway. Took the MG to work, which smells like it is nearly overheating.

And last night I took Julie to the gym in Amesbury, because we still have snow in Maple Crescent and Wood Park. And we could not climb the little hill into the gym car park! On the way home we came across three horses trotting down the main road in Tidworth, tried to ring PCSO Maria, left a message, then two RMP's turned up, looking for the horses. By now they had gone up to the Leisure Centre, maybe for a session of gym and swim!

Today the Focus was OK after 24 hours of trickle-charging the battery, also managed to do the plastics and glass re-cycling on the way in. Had to help one of Trilogy's guy's up the slope to work (his Mercedes was just sitting with it's wheels spinning), got my Focus in OK.

So, tonites Baz's Bluez n Zuzz, will try and give him a hand to set up, if we can get trailer out of the business park!

Need to sit down and think a bit mid to longer term with personal aims etc. bank account is emptying quickly, and bills are going up (petrol now 114.9 per litre). Need a sanity check on the bills I pay, and to work out if money in = < or > money out! Dan's not working and will not get into the Army without getting his run times in hand, and, with the snow and ice, he can't go out training. Also need to get a handle on work, and getting out more.

So, onwards and upwards, work to do!
