Waiting for the Postman...

Today it's been so cold and icy! J is on school holiday now, so once the shopping had been delivered, he helped me de-ice the car, so we could take his Grandma her week's groceries.  The ground on the driveway was like glass and there was a large patch of ice right under the back wheels.  Of course, I hadn't thought to order salt with our groceries and we had about a 1/2" in the bottom of the container.  Sprinkled it under the wheels and luckily that was enough to give us grip and let us reverse slowly into the road.  I'm just thankful that our drive doesn't slope!

We had to drive so carefully along our street but, luckily, once we were out on the main village roads, it was almost clear and the trip across the river to Mum's was okay.  There's a steep hill the other side of the bridges, which I was worried about, but that was clear too.  We were able to get her prescription and pick up the eggs from the lady in the village, also post our parcels at the P.O.   Just as well, because it's been snowing fit to bust this evening.  D said to J at bed-time, "See you in the morning. I'm either going to work or I'm not." That just about sums it up!

However, one thing that did not happen today was a delivery of two parcels we are expecting.  They should both be here by now.  One has J's present for his dad and the other has little party-presents for Wednesday and, more importantly, stocking-fillers for J! He asked Santa for several things, which I ordered.  The shop's order system says the order is "Complete" but there is no sign of the stuff!!

Tomorrow I will be Waiting For the Postman!

Just a final thing - check out these photos, which Keri-Anne has added to her shop - aren't they fab?
