More snow!

Hi everybody, welcome to another freezing day in Brighton! We have snow forecast for the next week, ugh! I saw enough snow before Christmas to last me a lifetime! Us southern softies aren't used to it! If it snows hard and the buses stop I'm not going to try to walk in it like I did a couple of weeks back, I fell twice and it's just not worth the risk. I'd rather stay home even though I won't get paid.

So what's new here? Well, I finally told my boss that I wasn't going to do any more night shifts. Although the extra money's good it's affecting my health, my BP was up to 200/120, so I told her I'd do last weekend but as from tomorrow I'll go back to my normal shift of Monday to Friday. That means they'll have to find somebody else to do it which will be hard as they pay the same rate for night shift as they do for day shift at the weekend so I don't see that hoards will be clamouring for it! It'll just be good not to have to change my sleep patterns every few days. Since my holiday I've done Wednesday to Friday on days, nights at the weekend and had Monday and Tuesday off. I was still expected to do five days of audits and paperwork even though I was only on my own shift for three days. I was supposed to work today but I said no, I'll have my two days off and start back tomorrow~ that's when the heavy snow's forecast for so whether I'll be going in depends on the weather!

I needed today off as Kayleigh, my grand daughter was coming up to dinner with her dad. I don't see her often enough so didn't want to cancel our get together. We had a lovely afternoon but they had to leave early as they have to get a train back to Worthing and we didn't know if the snow forecast for this evening would arrive.
Katinka made friends with Kayleigh and sat on her lap, she was OK while I was there but directly I moved so did Katinka! She's a real mummy's girl and needs the reassurance that I'm there all the time!

Phew, that was lucky! My computer suddenly decided to switch off but this entry was saved in draft so I was able to retrieve it!

Last Tuesday I went over Andy's, he'd already bought me a telescope for my birthday and Christmas present but decided to buy me something else. He wouldn't tell me what it was but said I'd love it. Off I went to collect it on Tuesday afternoon and there it sat in all it's glory.... A soft serve ice cream maker!! Lil ol' me, an ice creamoholic with my own ice cream factory right here in my kitchen!! I haven't tried it out yet but I've just made the vanilla custard mixture and put it in the fridge overnight to get cold. Tomorrow I can add the cream and put it all in the ice cream machine and have my own home made ice cream cones!

I've just looked out of the window, it's snowing hard now and it's forecast to snow all night. It started off as rain so it's going to be really slippery out there in the morning. It's lucky that Kayleigh and Shaun went home when they did, Kayleigh has the same opinion of snow as me! Can't we just fast forward to summer, I've had enough of this winter, if this is global warming they can keep it!
I'll end here as I have to iron my blouses for work, I always leave it till the last minute thinking that the ironing fairies may stop by and do it, no luck so far! So from me it's a very good night to you all and stay warm!
