So, Katy was up in Birmingham this weekend, hopefully enjoying some "quality time" with big sister. The snow arrived half-way through the W/E - didn't really stop, here, on Saturday, and Birmingham looked to be even more heavily hit - they even brought out the yellow ball (I know!) for the football going on there - on the TV it looked like playing in a blizzard.... Not that we were watching football, because it was the opening weekend of the Six Nations. Scotland did their usual thing against England Saurday, for the opening game of the competition, losing the home game in a scrappy try-less fashion.
I had planned to be out during the games, but snow put a stop to my Cardiff boot-shopping trip. Ordered some on -line instead - isn't it quite ridiculous that you can order boots one day and they arrive in at your local store before midday the following day...
So I met with Julie & Alyson for "brunch" Saturday late am. Just to have a natter. Julie has planned that we "girls" meet for brunch or cake and coffee on the first Saturday of each month - nice idea - she wants us to be like the "sex in the city" girls ...I know very little about that programme but I think I get the sentiment and seems a good thing to do...although probs not much sex talk to discuss...probs more the lives of our young people and our own mid-life crises. Anyway we'll go for it and hopefully next month one or two of the others will be free too.
Snow all melted away by end of the W/E. Church more or less "cancelled" this morn due to the car park being inaccesible/treacheres etc and phonecalls to all discouraging any heroics to attend. So a day at home "catching up" (mis-nomer?) and not getting to the gym. Tomorrow eve free for that instead.
