This time not about the inforgiveable ice in my Cognac, but about the first ice of the winter!
It is about naught degrees Centigrade, and there ice on the pavements! It won't be long before it snows! Not that I'll get off school... The Director of Education bases days off for snow on whether or not the buses are running in the City Centre...

Soon I'll have to make the arduous trek 200 yards along the road to the grit box and get a jugful of grit for the driveway...
