It has snowed here and I was not too keen to set off in the dark for the dentist this morning but the boy was scheduled to have a tooth out and a filling, so it had to be done! No bus or train at that hour due to snow and problems on the rails etc. and too far for him to cycle (he said) so I braved it.
We managed well all things considered though we did slip and slide around rather on the corners and at roundabouts, traffic lights - anywhere we had to stop or change direction!
The wisdom tooth was out in a jiffy and the filling done too so we were very quickly back on our way home.
It is blow-snow - making drifts because it is so light and powdery. It is still falling. I have another appointment this afternoon so have no choice but to either risk the car again or risk cycling there.....Dilemma!!!
I really don't know which is best - though protecting my darling Sooty (the car) from damage is the no. one priority. Me, I'd bounce I daresay! The roads in the village are not that clean and it is side roads all the way there so I know it will be dirty and messy - hate that! What to do?..
Funnily enough my diary which is the Mind, Body & Spirit Book of Days 2013 talks about an Hour of Magic on this weeks diary page today:
" Every so often it is good to start your morning an hour early and find a way of using that extra hour in purely pleasurable experiences - even, in winter, before sunrise."
I doubt they were thinking about shovelling snow which is what I was doing this morning!!!!!
Stay safe if you are out in our winter wonderland, whether on the roads or the cycle paths or anywhere else. And wrap up warm!!
