This last week is the first time in twelve months it hasn't pissed it down constantly.

Thats a fair point, just make's me feel bad when I think of my loved one mortality. Time was she would have sprinted over that ice. I feel old and unhappy.

Why didn't you just do her shopping for her?

She wanted to get out, as I said, her knee's aren't good and she needed help walking over the ice. Have you ever tried arhuing with a woman in early stage Alzhiemers?

Don't know what you're all talking about, Amazon sent House of Psychotic Women on Saturday and it arrived today. With the free delivery option.

Lucky you! You aren't stuck in the wilds though! Great choice in literature!

I haven't had a proper coat for years although I did treat myself to a waterproof, I did get a new blanket coat which I did get a chance to wear out today.

Same here. Been meaning to get a down coat for yonks - I've only got paper thin stuff... Went for a cool Uniqlo coat with a removable down layer

I'll just have to imagine how warm I would've been walking to work in it all this week

It's Cult Labs fashion corner

Snow can be a really pain for people with disability's or are elderly, already looking forward to it melting.

I sympathise, my grandma is a bit of a nightmare. She used to be very active but then slipped running down the garden in her mid-seventies, Had to have something done on her hip then she slipped whilst in hospital and had to have a hip replacement. Now the problem is she has a crutch which she uses in a way that she reminds me of a tripod from War of the Worlds. So she is still very active but very wobbly, it's really scary as she can really pick up speed.
