Well yes… 9-10 inches of snow and the whole of London grinds to a halt, but I'm not complaining. I attempted to get to work today but after 30 mins of sliding around my street I decided to call it a day and work from home. Here's a couple of pics that shows the state of play this morning at 8am - and it's still snowing!

Listening to the radio - it's clear our Canadian friends can't believe what the fuss is all about,  "…a few inches of snow and London grinds to a halt… are you yanking my spruce?" And I have to say I'm with them on that one!

 Fortunately, I have remote access to my files at work - and so I'm holed-up, with a big mug of steaming coffee, looking out at the winter wonderland that was once my back garden, and rewriting yet another strategic marketing plan to help combat the rigours of the current economic climate. (Those of us who recall A-Level English Lit might be thinking 'good use of pathetic fallacy' - but for those who aren't thinking that - I thought it worth highlighting ) 

Working from home on a day like today is much safer, productive and altogether more spohisticated! Bravo techies… now I can work in comfort while others have to struggle in… or so I thought. 

A text just recieved from another colleague, who does not have remote access, tells me that he can't get in, and as he can't access work files has resigned himself to building snowmen with his kids. Great… so now I'm working, while others are having fun… bravo techies . Think I may as well pack my bags and move to Canada… once the weather improves - yappari!
