feels like a sick day

Overnight snow meant pretty much everything in Bristol, and most of the rest of the country, ground to a halt today. Luckily for me, this meant a day off work.

It doesn't happen often but closing in such circumstances feels like a kind of enforced sick day. So this morning I had a nice long lie-in, read for a bit, cooked myself a nice breakfast, drank coffee, took a few photos out the window, had a brief session on the Wii, chose some recipes from cookery books. Later on I'm going to make a winter hotpot for dinner.

A nice enforced day of staying in and relaxing. Just like a sick day back in my schooldays.

All that's missing is a nice bowl of Heinz Tomato soup...
