Again apologies for being so quiet but this time it was not so much through choice, through me own fault I've been on a self-imposed Internet ban.

As some will know, and many won't (or care to know I expect) we get our internet access through plusnet. They're not the best, they're certainly not the worst (sometimes they're quite good if you catch me on a good day). We have been on a package called PayAs You Go, which means we get 4 gig of bandwidth (or as much as we like between 12am and 8am) for a fixed price each month and then a £1 per gig over this.

For once they got the forecast right, ish, we had snow... well a bit, for about 30 minutes. All gone now, the sun is out. There's the rumour of 6 inches by the morning, not overly sure I'm going to hold my breath!

They're not the best pics but if you fancy looking at the photograpic evidence you can find it here

Whilst my other half works silly time at the moment I've been having some mini-adventures of my own

Organisation isn't one of my strongest points, which apparently is surprising as I like things to be organised and logical (I could argue that my chaotic way of doing things is logical, but I can't be bothered right now!).

Dan reminded me of this snippet of wisdom my Nan gave us the other year and I felt obliged to share it with you for no reason other than it's Monday and, like me, you may require a smile to start the week with:

"Women live longer because they talk more, they breath in more air than men" (this may be slightly paraphrased given the time that has passed since she shared it with us!)
