Temperature rise

The warmer weather and rain has cleared most of the snow, although the 10 foot mountain in the corner of Tesco’s car park will be there for some months yet.


I came across what appeared to be the mass grave of thousands of Snowmen. Fortunately it turned out to be a field of carrots.

They're plagiarising my old films now!

Following the Top Gear electric car episode last November, further evidence that the TV media are spying on me for inspiration. Now they’re raiding my old super8 film collection for material.

Exhibit B: The new Mr. Kipling sponsorship for the TV show “Mr. & Mrs.”

As a young man did Mr. Kipling prefer to take...

his Hillman Imp ...

his NSU Quickly...

or his mini Battenberg?

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Seven inches of snow means we're pretty isolated. Can't get to work so only one sensible course of action. Yes, buy a new camera!

The old Canon Ixus has proved very reliable so I've upgraded to a newer model. 12.1 megapixels. Plenty of photo opportunities out there and a chance to combine both the snow setting and the "panorama stitch assist" with very pleasing results.
