4 inches fell overnight here and I've just cleared the path as a gesture of kindness towards the postman.
I think Bristol has ground to a shuddering halt as it is very, very silent (aside from sirens in the distance).

I'm due to fly to Norn Iron tomorrow for my ma's 60th birthday. Bristol airport is currently closed. Bah.

Teacher friend in Bristol seemed happy
Since her school's closed and she gets the day off.

Also, did you see the thing in the BBC news about the sign to Timbuktu?

Yeah, that was nice.
Also, down by the turn off to Cabot Circus someone has altered the airport sign and added little tiny flames to the wing tips and engines of the aeroplane symbol.

Sweet
I imagine that'll be gone by April though when I'm down.

I can hear nothing but the occasional screech of tyre

If I turned off the TV

fucking CUNTS and WANKERS to boot.

I read that to mean
"there's a load of seagulls shrieking on my window ledge".
But I think you actually mean the maritime division, as in a real department with humans and desks.
I prefer the first one.

How the hell
Did your brain manage to come to that first conclusion? It must be a strange and wonderful place in your head.

It is mostly boss in here
I wish you could all share some time in here with me.

"mostly boss"
that amuses me

seagulls would be marginally less annoying

and the dental surgery two streets away has just phoned
to say that they're closed and my appointment is cancelled. Fail.

Ooh, you're now entitled to free dental treatment!

Merely postponed
There's still loads you can squeeze out of them between now and the arrival of CFCB.
