Was watching BBC news last night and the reporter from here was stuck in England and may not get home for Christmas. You guys are getting hammered. Poor birds, I feel so bad for them. Aafke said she's getting snow, snow and more snow. Whoa!
We are getting walloped here! The snow started coming down again last nite and by the morning we were covered...
Of course there was NO WAY I was driving in it, but My Hero (Rod) figured we could get to Wicklow to do The Big Shop, as conditions are meant to get even worse (the airport is closed again), and it looks like another 4-5 inches are expected. People are actually sleeping in the airport... sure am glad I am home!
Anyway, The Hero digs us out and I call Barbara (a neighbor up the lane), and she comes shopping with us too. Rod drops me off at the supermarket and takes B into WIcklow to get some stuff, then they swing back for me. I say "Hurrah!", because I will not have Rod on my butt while shopping... grabbing the cart, wandering off, asking endless questions. Well, I get 2/3 done and in he comes... grabs the cart, asks whether I have the asparagus - I tell him we are NOWHERE NEAR the vegetables yet... but he hogs the cart and keeps asking "Where to now?" I want to tell him "TO HELL IN A HAND-BASKET!" but I curb my tongue.
But we finish eventually - tho I do not have quite a few things I was going to do throughout the week. I swear to God - when and if this marriage ever ends, it will be at a supermarket!!
And THEN - now, here is the kicker! He rushes me, gets our stuff in the car, and then he SITS THERE as we have to wait for Barbara, which I SAID we would have to do!
Right - I feel so much better!
Other than that - we still have no tree... I hate to mention this.
