I popped into Aldi, couldn't remember what for and ended up coming out with mini chocolate covered Stollen. I've eaten 3 so I have moved them to another room!

I am watching it snow on the Tv. In Atlanta Georgia. Here, cold, but no snow.

Not news, but it amused me.
Visiting someone that lives on a rat run, where cars regularly race down to miss traffic lights on the parallel main road, one clown thought he could go faster by driving literally inches from my bumper, and trying to pass in a road reduced to one lane due to parked cars. Okay, it's maybe childish, but I drove carefully, it's a 20mph limit, and after all, there was an obvious danger behind me, and it was school leaving time, so a lot of kids were about. I also politely let all on coming vehicles through, before needing a whole chunk of the road to reverse park.
The tailgater was flashing and honking, before realising he had to reverse to let me in. He still came along side when there was no room to pass because of parked cars ahead. Being a polite soul, I listened to his rant, and answered when I could. It then seemed polite to continue the conversation and neither of us could move until he did. The penny dropped with him, that all I was doing was keeping him talking to delay him, and make his 'short cut' a waste of time, but he just couldn't stop running his mouth off.
He 'ordered' me to park quickly, but I explained I was brought up to be polite, and as long as he was talking, it's simply good manners for me to stay and reply, which I did, until he realised nothing was happening until he backed up and shut up.
I think me laughing when I saw the penny had dropped really annoyed him, as he had a choice of make his point and wait, or shut up and go on his way, and let the now long queue of other rat runners behind him go too.

You will get drizzle and lump it. A certain Bumpkin should get plenty of snow, she's getting excited already

Coventry's a lovely shade of white, it looks like its stopped snowing for now but I suspect my Monday cycle ride may have to be cancelled.

Thanks folks, your 
mean a lot.
Feeling less down today, but it's still on my mind. Hate being blamed for something that wasn't my fault.

No snow here, just cold, with a real bitter wind. Wasn't pleasant running errands this morning - or sawing logs in the garden this afternoon. Need to get a new chain on the saw as the one that's fitted is rather dull and worn. Will pop round to the farm machinery and tool place tomorrow.
Did drop into the Co-op at lunchtime as I was out that way. Scored a nice little bit of cheese - two pieces of goats cheese, a pack of Leerdammer and a wedge of expensive Stilton. Cost to me: £2.46.
