Some cars on the otherside of the road had BOINGs as well!
There had cars slamming their brakes on as well!
Glad to have survived that one!

The Christmas Santa has now returned!
Now let's go to work.
Car drivers were going a lot slower than normal because of the ice on the roads.
I hope where I stand in the afternoon, defrosts, as it is slippy as hell on that side of the road.
Everyone commenting on how cold it is this morning. It was -2.5c when I started this morning.
Few car drivers kept going and not stopping on the otherside of the road.
At least I finished in one piece.
I was careful going back to Sexy Beast.
I got changed and just about to walk down to the Post Office, when I forgot my facemask.Back to the car to fetch that.
I was careful going down the hill. Gets my letters weighed and gets asks if I know these people I have wrote a letter too.
"Nope, not yet, as they are on Death Row in America, I won't get to meet them personally either."
She was fascinated about it.
I told her about the series on Netflix about people being on Death Row.
I found a website that you can write to inmates on Death Row. So I did!
The queue was getting longer in the Post Office, so I finished my conversation and said goodbye once I paid the postage.
I just about got up the hill, but nearly slipped over in the car park near my car.
Gets off my boots.
I picked up the newspaper on the way home.
Puts on the coffee machine.
I moved the things around in the bathroom to create more room in there!
Put the recycling out, and fetch some bread to the birds.

I'm glad the ice has now been defrosted on the pavement.
One parent I was talking to, was saying she went out for meal with 3 others on Saturday at a nearly pub. The cost was for three courses each, wine etc...... The amount was £280!
I pointed out I don't drink alcohol, I normally drink lemonade, but go dangerous and have lime added to it!
I wished her a happy Birthday for tomorrow.
Finished in one piece.
Hometime.
When I got home, the younger son had got all the boxes of Christmas decorations out from the loft.
He has put all a Christmas Tree in his room.
Hubby is at snooker tonight, and won't be putting up the decorations in the house until tomorrow night. The boxes went back up in the loft.
