turpsAs it still hasn't stopped snowing Corey's school was closed today, which he was very happy about.
But I wasn't happy when we went to pick up nanna to take her to the doctors and realised that there was no way our car was going to get off the estate. Snow measured in feet and an untouched road meant we got as far as the corner and had to turn back. Or more accurately, spin back, where the car got abandoned away from it's usual parking spot. So nanna cancelled her appointment and I hit the shops with James on foot. Which wasn't that bad at all, the snow is deep but looked pretty and I was all wrapped up, except for my feet which were freezing. But, what's annoying is a parcel got delivered on Friday and we weren't in. So, clutching the card today I went to the post office, only to be told my parcel had been left in the mail holder on my estate, and the post vans couldn't get up the hill to pick it up so redelivery or pick up could be arranged. So my parcel is right there but I can't get to it. Goodness knows when the vans will be able to get up either.
I am the most complain-ey, I know this.
I'm still very much on a Frank/Mikey kick, though even though some of you are enablers, I won't be pushing my WIPs aside and starting something new at this point. Especially as those WIPs are coming on nicely. Mainly due to mini_nano I've managed to get my 300 words at least in every day this month, even though sometimes it was a struggle, and I'm happy it looks like I'm going to finish the month on a satisfied note.
Man, now it's thundering and lightening while snowing. The hell weather?
Okay, plan for the evening includes coffee and a recently posted fic that may be very relevant to my interests.

Date: 2010-11-29 07:45 pm (UTC)That's too bad, both about you not getting out with your car and the post having left YOUR PARCEL in such a stupid spot!
(It snowed all day yesterday here, but today it was gloriously sunny. So while the wind was biting and the roads slippery even after having been plowed, we still went for a walk because it was just too beautiful to stay indoors.)
It wasn't me!!! I have never knowlingly enabled Frank/Mikey!
You totally rock the mini_nano!
*boggles* It's been years and years and years since that happened last. Thunder and lighting in the winter is just WRONG!
I hope the recently posted story will live up to your expectations. (There was TWO great Korse/Gerard fics posted last week. So happymaking!)

I don't blame you for taking a walk. I actually enjoyed ours when we were out. The snow can be so beautiful. I just wish the council knew how to actually manage it.
Ahahahaha. I know it wasn't you. But you're saying you wouldn't read Mikey/Frank Killjoys in Space?
Thank you :D
I was reading up about thunder and lightening during snow and it seems it is very rare. Hopefully that's it for many years.
It did! It was by Arsenic so I knew it would.
