Plague house.....

Another day another; well, another.

We had been promised rain last night and a thaw today.

Taking the local weather forecast; management noted even more fresh snow on the truck roof.

We were expecting a quiet day so of course coach was on the phone first thing, Tallie was needed for rugby training.

Having dropped Tallie into town in the beast I came home to take the rest to the Sunday market.

Well OK maybe not.

We got not very far at all and the IVECO was going no where and getting it back into the parking space was a real live struggle.

This took all the time we would have been at the market so it was now time to get the Tallie.

The beast declined to function so, sadly (yeah right) off up the drive I went in Gloria the green goddess.

I could of course have left Gloria at the top of the drive and taken the Xantia.

But that was too complex so I gave myself a treat and drove into town in 7.5 tons of 50's technology.

The shopping had to be done so me and the man went and did the biz.

Back home and the management had succumbed to a deadly lurg, too many days too cold.

She retired to bed.

Down the drive came Phil the Jeep, this time without getting stuck....

Having sampled the beast he was a wee bit impressed.

So of course we went on to observe in a neutral fashion a certain game involving Wales and Scotland.

All the time we have had to minister to managements every need.

She is currently running a temp of 38 degrees.

Her brow has been smoothed and she is currently in bed feeling sorry for herself.

I had better make sure she is OK

Mass bathing of kids is taking place, checking of school uniform.

Tomorrow they are in school, I don't care if it's open or not....
