Wot no intro?

You should maybe let somebody know where you're going, just in case. Apart from us, that is.

We got an email at work today informing us there were still places available on the time management course on the 9th Feb. I couldn't help thinking that it was just a little ironic. Either that or or they're teaching very advanced time management.

I was working in Beverley this morning. The Westwood was covered in snow. Would have looked really pretty but you could hardly see a bloomin' thing in the thick fog.

Last night it was Wilko Johnson live, relayed to the cinema after the screening of Oil City Confidential.

When I was passing through Etton earlier on today there was a dead blackbird lying next to a dead sparrowhawk in the road. I guess the sparrowhawk picked a bad spot to consume its prey.

One of my favourite tunes from The Rev that one.

You're not kidding. You wonder if they've deliberately set out to make it as annoying as possible so it sticks in your mind.

Light rain here now with a rapid thaw under way.

Next time you go you'll have to ask her why they couldn't keep their alpine tunnels open after a few cm of snow yesterday.

I thought they were maybe multi-functional.

Not related to our feathered friends I know, but there have been a lot of deer hoof prints in the snow when I've got to work in the last couple of days. I don't know whether it's normal for them to hang around the cycle lockers or that the bad weather is forcing them to forage for food further afield than usual.

We had that one about 2:30, dumped 3 inches in an hour. It made pretty good progress to get to you by that time. The buses were technically running, but they weren't going anywhere fast. Maybe without the competition they wouldn't have bothered at all.

Is that since the accident?

My daughter and her friends built an igloo in Pearson Park this afternoon. She's just been showing me the photos on her phone. It looks absolutely brilliant.

It was lovely in Pave beer garden. You should have popped down for one.

First sign of scurvy.

Does that mean the people in Hook (Hampshire) know their snow god?

I've still managed to get to work on me pushbike if that helps.

Gargoyles reunion gig at the Adelphi last night. With former Housemartins Ted Key and Hugh Whitaker in fine form. Hugh stayed in the stool after the Gargoyles set and was joined on stage by a fine bunch of musicians, including some former Red Guitars members. I don't know what they called themselves but they played a superb rocking R&B set, including the best version of Booker T's Green Onions I've ever heard. Absolutely brilliant night.

You're on form this weekend.

-25 is the lowest I've experienced, but that was in a windless cold store. Just started snowing again here.

Pony on Anlaby Common this morning. Doesn't look too impressed with the weather:
