Death defying

We took the journey back, a different way I hasten to add, at 30kph. Or in other words doing about 2400prm in second gear. Oddly enough, nobody passed, which is very unlike the French! ☺

As much as I like my perfect attendance, a minimum wage job simply isn't worth the risk. In fact, I'd struggle to think of any job that is. So if conditions are like that again, sod it. We're staying put.

You might suggest snow chains. Well, we aren't in an area known for iced roads so our local supermarkets don't stock such things. And, well, it isn't like we have a Halfords nearby!

HeyRick

So I said to mom that her incorrect "Meyenne" was seven letters. So's "HeyRick", and two of the letters are already in the right place.
Mom got the idea.

Sorry the quality is naff. Took this with the mobile phone. Somehow, given directions to press the blue button, mom managed to put the phone into 'zoom'. I was getting stuff ready for the till when mom pointed this out so I said "just take the picture anyway". I know the zoom is crap and actually just makes the picture smaller rather than any attempt at zooming so I never use it. Consequently I don't actually remember how to turn zoom on and off. Oh well.

BTW, this was done a few days ago. It's still there. ☺

lol @ the letters. Snowed here today, too. Had to go shopping though, as was the last chance before Christmas. Slid down the road until we got to a gritted one. Glad none of the kids were about! This comment was left with the main intention of testing the RSS feed, as it said it was empty, when I subscribed!

Well that sort of worked. Told me there /was/ a comment. No chance of including the comment itself? After all, it'd save having to click and a wait for the browser to load the page..

Yes, that is in the pipeline. The comment, or at least the first 256 characters of it, will be added sometime. At the moment, I'm just making sure _this_ much works. :-) OTOH, do you happen to know how XML would handle "こんにちは" (konnichiwa, "hello")?
