The wrong sort of snow

[charlie_cochrane]

Cochrane Towers was looking particularly lovely yesterday, the snow as deep as I've ever seen it here and the trees simply magical. No snowmen, however - the white stuff was far too powdery. Not even able to make snowballs, although getting a stick and knocking the snow off said trees when teenagers were standing under them was good fun. I knock about forty years off my age when it snows...

Have downe a tiny little blog, entitled Britches or Trousers? here.

Britches, breeches, breechings, braies, trews, trousers, pantaloons, the darksome lair of the one-eyed worm or unmentionables - it all adds up to fun whichever term one uses.

Hmmm - I have an odd feeling that I could have got that lot to rhyme with a little more effort.

Did you know that dreaming of trousers means you'll be tempted to do something dishonourable? If they are inside out then something fascinating is getting a hold on you. QED

LOL. A rhyming version would be great.

Was watching the Mrs Bradley Mysteries the other day and she quoted her mother as referring to sex as 'matters of the trouser'.

What does it mean when you have a habit of putting your knickers on inside out?

It means it's easy to check the size if you've forgotten. I'm getting to the stage where such little wheezes might become important.

I measured our snow after you posted yesterday. We had over 10cm (could only find a Barbie ruler, not one that I actually trust to be accurate).

Not sure ours was any better - we did add 1cm to allow for dead space at the end, though.

PS Somehow the thought of you with a Barbie ruler is hilarious.

I think we have had every type of snow imaginable in the last week! It's thawing now though and we have foot deep slush. It was fun while it lasted though :)

It's fun so long as you can keep safe and warm. we had a great couple of days, lots of stuff cancelled so time to faff about. Poor Mr C nearly got stuck on the continent, though.
