At Least I Tried

Despite living relatively close to work, there is a great big hill inbetween me and it :)

I came back home ;)

Shame, I was actually awake and out early this morning! Woke up like 40mins before my alarm goes off feeling relatively awake (surprising, given I ended up not even going to bed until 2:30am), had a nice warm shower :) Took time de-snowing my car :) I got all the snow off, rather than just that on the windows - I don't want it to be constantly falling on them as I am driving now, do I! :)

When I made it to the bottom of the big hill and pondered what to do next, I decided not to walk as I wasn't really in the right clothing. I decided not to try driving a completely different way immediately, as there had already been a fair bit of slipping and sliding about. "I'll work from home then," I thought ;)

Just got back in from my second attempt. Pffffffheeeeew, I am knackered. Left the car in a silly position (facing down a slope, and going forwards isn't an option), and was able to move it, ooh, at least a few inches from there. And back. ;)

And to think, I loaded up with spare clothes and hiking boots for that! ;)

Bah. :)

lol... Ok, so, I just read back what I wrote. "I am knackered" - "was able to move the car at least a few inches". I feel I should point out I don't have a Flintstones style car which works on pedal power ;) So much as wearing big heavy clothing and trying to figure out what is preventing you from going further backwards and attempting to dig out ice and snow from around where I wanted to go was the knackering bit ;) Not helped by the fact that I had thought, "I'll wait until I get to work to have some lunch". Hmmm, I think the big chunky soup I've had for a while is due to be eaten now ;)

Shame my bread is at work. And worse still... I've only got enough milk left for one more cup of tea! :-O

Whilst it was only a minute's walk away, I have now returned my car to its home parking space ;)
