Brrrr!!

Ye gods, it's a bit parky at the moment, isn't it? It was seriously cold around here last night, local temps were around -3, and if the weather forecast is accurate, that could be -4 tonight. It's making me wish I'd invested in some thermal underwear. Ah well, I'll just have to make do with a hot water bottle and a warm, purring cat for heat :)

I've done my shopping for the week, so at least I don't have to go out again this weekend. I can burrow down and make the most of my last two days of freedom before returning to work. On the plus side, I've got a fair amount of holiday to use up before 1st April, so I'm thinking a break in mid-February is going to be called for (possibly encompassing my birthday, oddly enough). So I just have to hang on for six weeks before loafing can resume. I think I can manage that *snickerfits*

Really looking forward to the announcement of the new Dr Who later this afternoon. jenni411 is away from her compy at the crucial time today and I've had to promise faithfully to text her the news the second I know! Hee! I'm hoping Patterson Joseph gets the nod but this is the Beeb (and RTD), so a surprise is not out of the question. Still, getting a black doctor in the same year as a black US President? I like the symmetry of that :)

Also sort of really looking forward to the American football this weekend. It's Round 1 of the playoffs and the 'Fins are involved (tomorrow). I'm not sure if I can bear to watch :P Brace yourselves - there's either going to be massive amounts of happy squeakings or a bad-tempered, swearword-laden paragraph ranting about incompetent football teams c.f Leeds v. Histon. You've been warned :P

And now I am scampering for hot tea and food! Hurrah!

We have an old fish tank in our back garden full of rain water. It currently has about 3 inches of ice in it that I can tell and I'm not sure how much more might be frozen.

I was watching a bit of soccer in the restaurant this afternoon, and in the crawl along the bottom of the screen, they mentioned the Leeds match was postponed because the pitch was frozen. Imagine them trying that in Green Bay. *g*

*fdl* I shudder to imagine the weather conditions that would force the cancellation of a Green Bay game. Probably something akin to what happened in "The Day After Tomorrow" :P
