Can't understand schools closing... but that's the same old, same old. Other folk have to go to work for gawd sake.

My daughter's doing a placement in school. She's not text me yet, but I'll bet she'll be pig sick if she struggled to get there and it's shut.

Because they're all wimps these days. No school closures when I was a kid, every one managed to get into school, teachers and pupils alike and we had to wade through deep snowdrifts in shorts for the boys and skirts for the girls. No long keks in those days.

Excellent post, Feey.

Yes, I remember walking to school in conditions like that.

Of course, Britain bred strong people in those days. All it can manage now is wimps.

Still, you enjoy your day in Bed, Rhian. You deserve it.

Re: S'no school!

Just had an email to let us know that our Scottish dancing Burns Night has been cancelled for tonight and will now take place next Wednesday.

Marge and I wouldn't have batted an eye in driving a few miles this evening, but I suppose there will be some decrepit old gits who would find it difficult, so they had to cancel.

Shame. I was looking forward to haggis, neeps and tatties. Still, perhaps Marge can make us some.

I'll go out now and see if I can catch a haggis.

No, quite easy actually. They have a tartan fleece and five uneven-length legs so they're not too good at running away either.

Ah but you're darn sarf where it's a sub-tropical climate.
