So it snowed in London for the first time in a year.

Try having your car towed at 2am with no windscreen wipers with snow covering your only view of the car doing the towing. Then (because the battery doesn't work) realising you have no heater - so the inside keeps steaming up. The only light you can see is the indicators of your mum who is towing you in her 1 litre Ford. And the rope keeps breaking so you have to keep tying two frayed ends of rope together, in the snow, in the dark. Lovely...

So yes - it bloody did snow, no it didn't lay on the ground and yes I was bleedin' freezing.

And I'm working tomorrow, where I shall no doubt be spending the better part of the day picking grannies off the floor after they try skating down to the shops to get their cat-food and box of hankies.

One year, when working in A+E we had 23 "Colles" fractures; which are broken wrists suffered most often by grannies falling over with their hands outstretched. It was like a Russian factory getting all those broken bones set properly.

Roll on Spring...
