So where are your gritters? How can a snowplow, a vehicle made to drive through snow, get stuck in that? This country is pathetic when it comes to dealing with these conditions. Other countries would laugh their heads off at how we have come to a complete stop over the last few weeks.

Journeys like that have been going on all week. Buses aren't running, all the cars are getting stuck, 25 people had to sleep in the soft play area at the local football stadium!
What it comes down to is our council being crap, personally my areas council recently spent 3 MILLION QUID building a large mermaid statue and some plastic waves by the side of the road. They're supposed to light up but were built to bright for drivers so they're useless now. With that money they could have sent out gritters and eliminated the preoblem from the start. I've missed five prelims now because of this snow.

It's ridiculous. I mean, I personally have never seen it snow this badly here before in my lifetime and yes, it's gonna slow things down and cause problems but here we are...2 weeks later? Maybe 3? And it's still grinding things to a halt.

I know you have it worse than we do up there we should be able to cope with it enough to at least avoid making a 7 mile trip take 9 hours. Thats insane.

I had two exams today and I think I failed both of them :/ but that isn't so important since I feel like my whole life is falling apart and trying to fix everything is far more important for me than few exams.
Oh how I wish everything would turn out fine since it's hard to live when my heart is breaking all the time.
Man this turned emoish... but emo is good.

Being home within ten mins of leaving work is glorious. If I had to wait in another tailback I swear I'd end it. And walk

The semester is officially over for me. Thank God.

Good luck with that! Hope it works out for you.

I do have a couple of sneak previews of the new business.
The menu board:

In more detail. I designed the pizzas, names and descriptions:

More detail:

my first pizza and although it doesn't look too special it does measure 60cm x 40cm which is 23" by 14" so bit of a monster (this took some work to get to this size)
