SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had SNOW yesterday evening...It had been horrendously windy all day and even driving through the streets my car was getting blown about...G had his flu jab in the afternoon and i was slightly late in picking him up...How he wasn't blown off his feet waiting for me i don't know...His school is fairly exposed to the elements and he was waiting by the car park which is at opposite end from the entrance door...We got a fair old buffeting (sp?) in the car on way back to the surgery...As he didn't have to go back not having anything last period i did dutiful mum thing and we went for a late lunch...But the period before i had picked him up he had his weekly cookery lesson...He'd made sticky toffee pudding and it smelt divine...We didn't have that until gone 9pm as we were too full from rather late lunch...Am not the worlds best at reheating stuff but i stuck it in the oven and hoped for the best...I HATE using the microwave...Well my lad makes a pretty mean sticky toffee pudding i can tell you...I dragged the poor lad to John Lewis and it's outside the shopping centre...It was sleeting then and still the high winds...First i knew it was snowing was M texting me..His meeting had just finished...Now he is managing to go down on the bus, get off at correct stop and go to the meetings himself...After meeting finishes he crosses the road and gets the bus home...His text said 'It's SNOWING!!!!'...So i phoned him and asked if he wanted a lift...He said yes, so i went and collected him and sure enough it was snowing in town...Too windy for any of it to stay around like...Later at night some did stay put on the roofs of the cars in my street...Today he texted me after college...'It's RAIIINNNNING!!!!'...Phoned him and he was moaning...I said well take the bus, he grumped...I said you want a lift don't you and i was right...Told him tough luck as your brother is due home in a mo and doesn't have keys...He took the bus...Methinks i will have to teach him to text 'mum can i have a lift please it's snowing/raining' ...Instead of just informing me of the weather conditions <g>

No snow today but bitterly cold and still very very windy...K phoned last night bored silly and wanting out...She did get out today though...They found nothing untoward wrong with her brain which is good news...And basically they confirmed the non epileptic seizures thing...The doctor in the hospital doesn't like using the word psychological...I guess because he reckons that implies it's all in the mind and put on...When it's not, it is very real and those who have them are unaware of doing anything deliberately...She was about 4th or 5th person he had seen that week about same thing...So it's fairly common...At a guess me not being medical i'd view it as instead of stuff from in the past suddenly hitting you with a brick and turning you to depression that it takes you totally unaware...And manifests as very real physical difficulties instead...Her hair bless her is a gunky mess...She spent ages in the shower before she left to try and get worst out...She's said that she reckons some they're going to have to cut out...Easier if it's a bloke he could just clipper it mega short but not if you're female and have longish hair and don't suit mega short hair...Speaking of which i need to go make tea and have a nice soak in the bath...Oh and well done to Glasgow on getting the honour of holding the Commonwealth Games in 2014...They shouldn't have the same financial problems as the London Olympics have because Glasgow already has the vast majority of the facilities needed...Now doesn't that make more sense...Apply for to host a competition you already have the majority of the facilities already available for LOL...To any of you who read this who live down where those tidal surges were expected i hope you were ok and not affected by them at all
