All the news I need
By Thursday the snow was lying thick on the road, and we went nowhere. During the day on Friday it thawed a little, there was a clear track down the middle of the road and we drove down to the pool for an afternoon swim - which cheered me up immensely.
Just as well, because I haven't left the house since.
We had tickets for a Saturday evening concert at the Gala, and thought that we could probably walk there, if we allowed lots of time (I'm slow on ice);![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
durham_rambler went into town in the morning for a few essential supplies and reported optimistically. But the Gala rang to say John Kirkpatrick was stuck in Cambridge and the show was cancelled, which was a disappointment but not a huge surprise. We stayed home and watched In Bruges (recommended: funny, dark, sad, beautiful, unexpected).
Yesterday, more of the same. When the snow falls out of a grey sky, the world is hazy and monochrome; when it stops the sun comes out contrast returns: the hillside opposite is a tracery of black and white trees against blue sky.
And more snow overnight: there's a thick white bonnet on the lid of the compost bin (which was cleared yesterday to empty some compost);durham_rambler has just stuck a ruler into the snow on top of the car, and reports a depth of 25 cm (since Friday afternoon, see above).
Will we make tonight's concert at the Sage, tomorrow's movie at the SIDE...? I doubt it.
