Ice Ice Baby
Hello all. It recently occurred to me that it has been a long time indeed since I last wrote anything on this page, aside from the odd one sentence missive, or amusing picture of a cat injuring itself.
So, what’s been going on then? This winter has seen snowfall on an utterly biblical scale. I’ve never known anything like it. It is currently a snuggly -10 degrees centigrade, which is, believe it or not, actually quite mild; -22 is the record this winter. So far so cold, but the arctic conditions have brought a new danger to a city already replete with dangers to personal safety: Massive icicles which dangle from dodgy post war guttering 30 meters up. I swear, with no exaggeration whatsoever, that there was one, two meters long, dangling from a pipe high above a busy crossing, waiting to impale some poor pedestrian like that priest in The Omen.
