After yesterday’s monsoon the little bit of snow we had here this morning came to nothing. It’s very windy though, the motorbike cover was making a bid for freedom until I roped it down.

A monsoon in Oxford is just a drizzle in Yorkshire

We’re surrounded by rivers though, so the rain takes the water level above the road level. My brother-in-law used to row his boat to the village shop after a heavy downpour.    The ring road has been raised up, as apparently cars don’t react well to being six feet under water.

No snow up here for a few days and most of that has gone. Minus 16c this last couple of nights though!! Back to Mallorca at the end of this month. 25c there this week. Lovely!!

Snow on the cars this morning at 6am, went back to sleep and it had all gone by 9. Amazing how the country grinds to a halt with 1/2 ins of snow, ok old fart time BUT when I was younger snow never stopped us getting around. Walked to junior school with the snow level with the hedgerows, never got stuck driving either but then all RWD.

Did you have time for a handful of cold gravel before you left your cardboard box for school? 

[Raeturbo]

Apparently, whilst I was dead, we had a "lot" of snow here.  Not quite sure home much a "lot" is, as I've heard it was terrible, and nobody could get anywhere/. So probably a tiny dusting of snow....

You were dead ? You might have let us know this had happened. 

Edit. Just seen your post about Chinese sniffles in the other thread.

Swmbo and I caught it last April. Son turned up to stay on a Friday before his wedding on Sunday. Saturday his nose is running like a tap, so I suggested he did a test. The horrified look on his face told us the result. He had Covid the day before his wedding.
Wedding had to be moved outdoors, but went ahead.
I tested positive two days later, and swmbo was a couple of days behind me.
I did feel pretty rough for several days and on the worst day I wouldnt have been able to go to work even if I was allowed to.
Had to stay away until several days after a negative test, but got full pay so no big deal.
First time in the 14 years at the job I had time off sick, so was a bit irked at breaking my record, but shit happens I suppose.

Edit. Just had a vague thought that I may have posted all of that about 11 months ago, but cant really remember.
No worries, most of you probably cant remember either, so I should get away with it.

He mentioned it in passing on the 'Masks don't work' thread. I reckon he's stretching the truth somewhat.

Apparently, I didn't make it to Thursday afternoon last week, and didn't turn up on Friday.  No issues with this week anyway, as I had the week off anyway.

Its just dawned on me that its Thursday today, so thats an entire week I can't account for .  Still, I'm spending some of the day being conscious today, so all good now

If your sick during your holiday from work, apparently you can legally have the holiday added back on to your entitlement.
Ludicrous I know, but it was probably something dreamed up by the French when we were still in the U.S.E.
