Not quite as much as Jan/Feb this year but a reasonable amount.

There's a couple of cars abandoned at the end of the road that obviously gave up trying to go up the hill out of the estate this morning.

After nine months of driving I've got my first problem with the 'roc. Car unlocked and glass dropped, but it seems to have gone back up and now the door won't close. It's just minus 7 here so I have no intention of being outside for more than ten seconds at a time. Suggestions?

Here it is before I attacked it with a broom to get the worst of the snow off; gotta go out early tomorrow morning. That's if any of the roads around Cheltenham feel like opening any time soon.

ps: it only went through a car wash on Tuesday evening!
