The lull before the storm.

Heavy snow is forecast for the Midlands & Wales tonight, so we should wake up to a white out tomorrow morning again.
There was a light covering of snow last night & Hollylands was like an ice rink today, other roads were fine.
G started to sort out his mountain of paperwork in the study this morning, in preparation for decorating. I took advantage of not being involved & went to the gym, via Knowle.
Two hours in the gym, 18 lengths of the pool & then some food shopping in M&S.
Apparently, they were very quiet on Monday & Tuesday, due to the 2cm of snow closing all major routes.
Thanks to this climatic abberation, there were a great many reductions; we have just eaten like Chinese aristocracy for a mere £5! (This was accompanied by a rather fine bottle of Sancere, by mistake - my favorite wine.)
We have relaxed by a big fire, having been unable to resist the second half bottle of wine.

We are watching "The Buddy Holly story", having seen it on stage a couple of times.
It is 50 years since he died, prematurely, in an air crash.
I,m sure that the music of our youth has never been equalled.
G is nodding rythmically & has a big satisfied grin.

Off to bed shortly, before we fall asleep (again)

Tomorrow we have to clean the church & possibly attend a cofee morning, if we can get out.

We had two spotted woodpeckers together in the trees behind the shed in the field this morning

I won't ask what you're doing...

I just re-read that & thought that it gave that impression.
G was of course merely enjoying the music of his youth.
