I meant to blog, but I wanted to get certain things in my life over with before blogging. There are probably lots of things I want to blog about. That's the trouble when you leave it so long!

First off, let's talk about snow. Yes, snow! I would upload a picture of snow to show you, but I haven't set up an FTP program yet on this PC. I'd have to do it from the other PC, and at the moment I can't be bothered. Awful, eh?

The snow in Leicester wasn't all that impressive, but in Lutterworth, a bit south, it was brilliant! It was about 10cm or so, in the end. It turned all blizzardy for quite a while. Cool. :) The only problem was that it took us hours to drive from Lutterworth back to Leicester. It took about an hour to move what normally took 10 minutes. At one stage we were watching a van that was having extreme difficulties getting around a mini roundabout. It was trying to turn uphill and it kept wheelspinning. In the end it gave up and turned left instead.

Thankfully we made it home in one piece.

Maybe you were wondering why I was in Lutterworth. It was a strange day, really. Rob dropped me off at his parents' on the way to work. His Mum was there, and I ended up talking to her most of the day, which was interesting. I think we were getting on quite well. We talked about many, many things. And I learnt how to use a breadmaker. :)

Anyway, he came back to take me to the doctor's for 11.20. He'd made me an emergency appointment at his doctor's, because of my complete failure to find one. I've been putting off going for ages anyway, because although I wanted to find out what was wrong with me I was, well, scared. Maybe more scared of the actual appointment than what might be wrong with me, although that was scary too. I've had it for about a year and it's only been getting worse. It turns out to be nothing serious, but nothing they can do anything about. Which is good, but also bad. More good than bad, probably. Ah well.

After that I spent the afternoon talking to his Mum, watching the snow, and then we had the scary drive home on the slippery roads. Considering they knew it was going to be freezing, even if they didn't know it was going to snow, there was a distinct lack of gritting. :(

What else was I going to blog about? Hmmm... there have been lots of birthdays over the past week, notably Rob's and Mark's. Obviously it was Richard Dean Anderson's as well. And my Nanny's. I think everyone had a nice time, anyway. I was trying to make Rob's birthday special, although it's hard to know quite what to do when it's the first time you've had a boyfriend's birthday to sort out. And not just a boyfriend. A future husband. Ooer.

There were definitely more things I wanted to blog about. But I can't remember what. Hmmmmmm.

I have been mostly.... READING: magician (raymond e. feist) / WATCHING: stargate (sky 1); neighbours (bbc 1); angel (sky 1); friends (e4); best of top gear (bbc 2)
