So I was meant to sit on the sofa all day today surrounded by my furballs doing nothing. Things didn't turn out that way as I ended up readying myself for the next bout of wintry weather which is due to hit next week.

I tried to buy "tyre socks" for my car BUT guess what ... my car tyres have no socks for them! Every other blooming car tyre has one - just not mine! Mercedes ... I hate you. I bet a 20 year old Trabant can get tyre socks ...

I bought salt & grit (the council here aren't all that vigilant) and swept the driveway ... c'mon Father Snow - I am ready for you!

this "warship" was sitting just outside Cannes last week ... Father Snow ... I have my backup!
