Morning People.....

Well hello.......

First blog of the new year, and its been busy.......the new year went well with watching District 9, lots of alcohol, friends and good music. Finally stumbled into bed at 4:30 am and got up at 9 to cook a raost dinner.......
Today i was supposed to have all the windows in my house changed to double glazing, but because of the snow they are not going to, even though the other half has taken time off work. As he works nights we have to arrange things around his time off, its not too helpful when the person on the other end of the phone says "we don't know when, but we will try to fit you in somewhere" don't they realise people have lives? that we can't just stop everything for them. Snow.......well here in the UK if we have just 1 inch of the fluffy white stuff the whole country comes to a standstill......we get it every year, yet people act like they've never seen it before, today most schools are shut, why? well according to the reasons given on the school closures page of our local council range from no heating (fair enough) , trecherous conditions (fair enough in rural areas)to "lots of snow" , lots of snow? thats no reason to close a school, teachers get paid regardless. If only the other half could get up and say "you know what, fuck it, i can't be bothered to drive my lorry today, so i'll just make something up." He certainly wouldn't get paid for it. Grrrrr, that shit annoys me, it really does. They are trying to get the local school to be "The Hub" of the local community, but thats not going to happen if they keep shutting them, especially at times when they are needed most.

Well anyway, hope you all had a good new year.......
