Standard IT :lol:

Office won't authenticate on my computer anymore, but instead of suggesting anything, IT want to have a conversation on the phone.

Which would be fine except it would be with someone who has a very thick accent, on a call that's been routed from India to North Carolina to the UK.

I've given up and am just using online versions instead.

It's about 150m from my garage to an A priority main road, so all I have to do is get there.

Bit slippy this morning getting there, but OK all the way to work. We bugged out about 1:30 after advice from the Government. A leetle beety slippy going up Drum Brae South as a lot of fresh snow had settled / was settling, but OK.

There's less than 4cm snow lieing here, I expect tomorrow to be OK unless we get another 5-10cm overnight. Whether my work is going to be open, I dunno - the Chief Exec told his office not to come in tomorrow, apparently.

Walked to the shop and got some today. The roads are mostly okay - if you can get out of the snowbound estate with a big hill at the entrace :roll:

Kudos to the MX5 going sideways around a mini roundabout by accident.

got 5 litres.

Cant find bread for love nor money.

Perhaps offering to pay with love was my first mistake.

Got some - last 4 pints of full fat (used for helping Peter gain weight) at Tesco. About 20 pints of skimmed left and that was it...
