What will this afternoon bring?
pdate: It brought the school closure. But fortunately friends stepped in, so I patched my way through the afternoon. Assembler is fun!
But not as much fun as Snow-crazed stoat 'goes berserk' - thanks H.

For me the afternoon has brought a wonderful view of the snow-covered Malvern Hills. Lovely!
The advantage of working in from home. ;)
Been a good week, taught my 3 year-old daughter how to build snowmen (two completed in the garden) and been sledging with her most lunchtimes.
I've only wiped out on my bike once this winter (so far). It happened in slush rather than on frost/ice, which is my more usual nemesis.
