I'm admitting defeat

So. Winter has properly hit my little corner of the world, with some relatively heavy snowfall over the last couple of days. And I still have no heating or hot water at home - the plumber came out yesterday - right in the middle of a power cut in my flat. Not Impressed. He was due to come out again today, but the crappy weather has meant he can't make it out to where I live.

I stayed last night at my grandparents' - best idea I've had in a long time. Central heating! Gotta love it. And it looks like I'll be staying here for a few days, or at least until the plumber can get out again to take a look at my boiler.

I took this last night from my grandparents' front door, and this was their back garden this morning. The snow's started to melt, but not by much, and I have zero intention of going home to a freezing cold flat when there's a spare room here I can be taking over!

The Mother's pretty much snowed in out at the Village, so at least I don't have to worry about getting into work for the next couple of days. Just have to sit back, get some writing done and try not to go stir crazy while there's still snow outside!
