  in the last few minutes i have gone out twice in response to "screaming" engine noises outside.
  
  a van and a car are just spinning their wheels and not going anywhere, the van was swivelling from side to side also.
  
  where the street lamp shines down on the barely treated road and pavement surfaces it is like looking at a sheet of glass.
  
  clearly an evening to stay indoors and not venture out by car or foot unless it is strictly necessary.

  We went out this afternoon but I did not go far could see what it was like turned round and now the car can stay where it is till it has gone. When you are young all this is fun,not so when you get older.

  Sounds like you`re in the best place though Jenni. Hope your cold is getting better. And, did you get to your shop okay this morning?
  Tell them that I came, and no one answered.
