We had snow yesterday afternoon. I didn't notice if falling as I was busy DIYing, but when the boys came back from grandpa's house I was lured outside to be hit with a snowball. There was barely enough, but they were pleased with it. It seems like thing two hasn't had any snow experience at all, can that be right? It's all gone again now as I write this, it's quite heavy rain right now actually, but there were still remnants of ice and frost this morning, so I did not go out. I did my 5km on the treadmill, for some reason it is a lot harder and I got a proper sweat on. Good thing about the treadmill is you can stop whenever you like and you have everything at hand, so I slowed down a couple of times to drink my coffee. The bad thing about the treadmill is you can stop whenever you like, so I'm more likely to take a break than to push on until I get home.
We did talk about going out at lunchtime today, but deep down we knew it was going to rain and it wasn't happening. Clare is going for another coronavirus test, she is having one every week as she's mixing with so many people in the new job. The boys have been gaming this morning, then screaming at me when I asked them to stop for lunch, then they think they will be gaming all afternoon while Clare is out / revising. If I don't get a sincere apology from them both I'm keeping the power off for the rest of the day. I'm in a bad mood today. Only a week left of dryanuary, apropos of nothing.
I see was at a Kula Shaker gig today in 1997, I liked them a lot at the time. I have that Revolting Cocks gig as being today, though the ticket clearly says not. I guess it must have been postponed. The internet agrees with me on the date, though maybe we all get it from the same dodgy source. I have a video of this gig, I have posted a clip of it lots of times.
