Crunchy snow and Slush.

Up early this morning, woke and couldn't get back to sleep. Husband working from home as we had a dental appointment. Dentist was running late, and we both had to have xrays, and possible teatments outlined to us. Husband given prescription for more antibiotics. Crunched our way over last night's snowfall, and ice back to the car. Got call from repairman, his colleague on the way. Hurrah! now have a functioning washing machine and start on washing backlog. I volunteered to get husbands new antibiotic prescription from our local Sainsburys, said store heaving with people, get the impression that folk are using snow as an excuse not to go to work and setting tills ringing instead. Told wait for prescription 40 minutes. Decide to wait in cafe, decide to have a soup lunch to kill time. Yummy tomato and basil.
In the afternoon get phone call, new spare specs ready. Make phone calls about dental clinic referrals, then set off for town. Last night's snow turned to mucky slush in town centre, even more lethal than crunchy snow to walk on. Found book for part of husbands gift, and card to give husband. Went off idea of making his card, looked in vain for Cadbury tree chocolates, but found el cheapo, ones in Wilko (bet they taste horrible)
Collected new specs and admired opticians tie, red with father Christmas on.
Decided I needed to hurry home as traffic buiding up, and certain hills closed in town centre.
Spent a pleasant evening with daughter and Son-in-Law at their flat being fed and watered. I have to say my daughter is a very good cook. Husband fell asleep, woke on the dot of 10 and said 'home time'.
Came home shivering as so cold out, foggy too.
I forgot to mention had a suprise phone call from an ex colleague, now in America, we worked together XX years ago, she had got our newsletter and was responding. Nice to know all our round robins don't end up in bin. Long 'to do' list for tomorrow, thankful to Mum in Law for helping with ironing, I was in and out like a fiddler's elbow today. Off to bed now as it's late
