This amazing image of Great Britain under it’s icy topping was captured by NASA (Satellite Terra) yesterday.  I don’t think  (in living memory) I can’t recall a time when Britain has been completely covered by snow and ice before.

The snow has compacted really badly on the roads on my estate leaving it very much like an ice rink, so I had to drive very carefully as I left for work this morning. The main roads however where mostly clear but I am sure that there would have been patches of black ice so due care and attention was needed.  So why do other people drive recklessly in less than ideal conditions? And why is it always me the gets the car behind me trying to get into my car boot?  When I stopped at the junction I noticed it was a lady driver happily driving along talking on her mobile phone.  I had the urge to get out of the car and tell her off (most unlike me), I put that down to the fact I don’t do mornings well.

The car park was lethal.  I had the choice of parking my car in the sun a long way away from the building and risk breaking my neck on the car park which hadn’t been gritted or park in the shade nearer to the building and risk the door icing over later.  I chose the latter so I didn’t have far to walk across the ice.

When I got to my desk my colleagues were busily planning a birthday celebratory meal for one of the girls in the office and everybody who sits near me is attending.  I seem not to have been invited, maybe it is because I am on a different section, or maybe it was something I said or perhaps I have managed to do my very clever turning invisible trick again… :-/
