Work for me stopped on Thursday, on Friday I spent the day indoors waiting for the BT to arrive and install a new phone line. He did come but it didn’t go smoothly and by 6pm, I had no phone line and cabin fever. However, it was too late to go and admire London looking white and pretty.
However, I decided to be thankful that I hadn’t cancelled the other line until Feb and consoled myself with Friday Night Pizza and Father Brown on iPlayer, much to my surprise, I’m really enjoying Father Brown, though it’s the least realistic setting for a Catholic Church in 1950’s England that I can imagine. Though expecting reality from series about a crime solving Catholic priest is really a fools game!
Saturday morning started stupidly early so I could be really for BT part two and this time the engineer got the line working. Once I’d sorted out the phone, I got on with housework and shopping and planning dinner for my poor kitchen deprived mother, she’s spent the week ‘cooking’ in the living room!
Ma arrived on Saturday night and we ate dinner (roast chicken, mash, brussel sprouts and roasted cauliflower), watched The History Boys and listened to Brain of Britain. It was very rock and roll…
On Sunday morning, we woke up to find that it was snowing again. After breakfast, Ma went off and I spent the morning lying about reading. It was still snowing at 3pm when I ventured out for a walk in the park.
That was the weekend and provided that the trains don’t collapse tomorrow morning (we are totally rubbish at dealing at with snow in England!), it’s back to work..
