... this may just look like a little bit of, well, wet slushy sleet on the road, in other words, nothing major to, say, make a country come to utter standstill. But amazingly enough, here in Ireland, that is exactly what it did today. It was a funny scene that seemed to repeat itself over and over outside the bay windows in our living room today, where cars skidded around, got stuck in the slush, went off the road and were abandoned there, waiting for some- clearly overworked- AA guy to come save it.
I had plans today to make it in to the city, meet an old colleague for some brunch, drop some cash in Reiss and Topshop and in general just have some pre-Christmas Dublin fun, but that all went up in smoke- or snow, more like it, as the weather got progressively worse as the day went on- and frankly, seasoned as I may be in wintertime driving, even I would not attempt these roads with no snowtyres on the car. And so we were confined to our local area for the afternoon instead, where we went for a lovely snowy walk, sipped (organic) hot chocolates at the healthfood café, browsed the lovely bookstore and stocked up on yummy dinner in M&S before we headed home to defrost in front of the fire, enjoy a relaxing night in- and make sure BF/Daddy was surviving his man-flu!
