Rebuilding The Night Away

My replacement hard drive arrived yesterday, which is good. It was delivered to the shop on the corner because I was out - I looked up the signature on the ParcelForce delivery tracking service, then looked up the name in the phone book.

Well, she made some excuse to pop into my house on the way...

Snow

It's been snowing all day, and it's really built up in parts. I went for a walk in the wood near my house today, and there was over 6 inches in parts! Crazy.

Photos coming soon.
