Had some fun in the snow. Wasn't proper icy to do handbrake turns 

 

 

 

If you turn hard enough it will slide 😅

Get two shallow oven trays for under the rear wheels and leave the handbrake on, 

No snow in the South East of Ireland here atall perhaps Brexit has something to do with restrictibg the snow from coming in to Ireland, we will get it in two weeks time where it used to be the following day 😂

Still got a good 4 inches here!  There's quite a bit of snow left too... 

Funny thing is it's currently easier to drive than walk.  The main roads have been ploughed clear, but the footpaths are just lethal compacted ice giving no grip at all!   

I like this pic as posted on our local paper's Facebook page, posted originally by NASA.

Unusual on 2 counts.

1, it shows Orkney totally covered in snow, usually we just got a light covering.

2, no clouds! 😃

I do like it's my birthday today,but you know ( people think ) your getting old when your given a garden chair , national trust membership and strawberry plants to grow in the greenhouse. Crikey, I'm not that old!!! I had better go out on my midlife crisis (honda vfr800) for a blast.... Bugger, I can't unless I think of a reason for my journey to be essential. 

Work posted me a card . I'm going to enjoy the hour off on my day off 😂😂😂

 

Oh , well I had better sit in my chair in the garden wrapped up and pretend to enjoy it. 

Perhaps I should have posted this in the don't like thread. 😂😂😂😂😂

Oh, happy birthday @TomsFocus too.

Happy Birthday @iantt and @TomsFocus

I remember the days when you had a cake with candles , made a wish while blowing out candles. Not any more, no on wants a piece of cake with my germs blown over them any more . What's wrong with people nowadays.

Have no Idea. There's some good films coming on in the evenings on film4. My favourite film hitman agent 47 came on yesterday 😂. I booked that mortgage advisor exam today at 7pm so busy revising for that again. Hope I pass it this time as had to pay £150 to re-register.

@iantt any birthday / valentines day Ian? Just realized your birthday is today also

Never knew they did exams that late.  Good luck with it!!  

Yeah I saw bits of that haha, always think of you when I see it on the TV guide now!   Not sure tonight's Film4 movie will be your sort of thing but I might give it a go myself.  There's a Simon Reeve travel programme on at 8pm, I generally like those.  Might also go for some 'exercise' this afternoon, though the pavements here are still like sheet ice lol!

Birthday present I bought myself. 

Unfortunately not arriving until mid march.
