Gratuitous Snow Pics

Had a couple of nights where it gone down to -10° C and there were a few instances of -3° C being reported at 4 PM by those of us with outside temperature devices in their cars. However in the main it was overcast and cold in the Easterly winds that seemed to prevail for most of our stay.

That is until we got to Thursday morning when it started to snow and must have dumped around 2 inches until it packed it in sometime in the late afternoon.

These three shots were taken on Friday morning after the others had set off on their journeys South.





Yes those are dog tracks in the snow, Big Sis was accompanied by their 15 year old black labrador who is one chilled out dog - the only time he gave me any trouble was on the two mornings when I had to persuade him that he really needed to move from in front of the log fire to go his bed in the cooler kitchen annex.



What is it with corporations and Easter? Popped into the off sales on Thursday evening and they had Easter eggs for sale on January 4th for fecks sake! When we challenged the sales assistant about this he had the good grace to look sheepish and muttered “nothing to do with us, we never asked for them they just got sent in with this weeks resupply”.

So one season closes and the build up to the next holiday commences, these companies just see these seasons as an opportunity to extract as much cash from consumers as they can before moving on to the next “sales opportunity”.
