A personal challenge - try and write something every day for January 2025
***************
The snow has triggered where I work into a health and safety hyper-alert. It does not take much for paths to be slippery or access to become difficult and seeing a fair number of folk who use the community building and gardens on a daily basis are mostly older, it seems better to err on the side of caution.

So, instead of doing garden planning, checking on our seeds/tools/potting soil, making shopping lists and welcoming back the volunteers, I am at home having just endured essential mandatory training. Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be at home when the weather is like this, I can wrap up and chat to the cat whilst I am working (not that she approves of this kind of frivolous comradery - she is more the 'you-work-and-I-watch - through closed eyelids - type of cat......)
Any hoo - I am now fully certificated on anything to do with fire prevention and safety in the workplace. The cat was not particularly impressed when I let out a ooooof of relief on the final assessment.... however, I am just glad to have finished it.

The eyebrows of annoyance say so much more that words could ever do!
I really hoped we would have a smattering of snow - but it wasn't to be. Being near the sea is wonderful except it keeps up our temperatures and away the snow. Sensible of you to be sensible.
ReplyDeleteliving in the centre of Britain in the lea of the Pennines usually guarantees rather wet (and when cold enough) snowy weather - I would give it up in a heart beat to live nearer the coast!
DeleteWe have had no further snow here in Wales and are rather hoping it stays that way now as we are due to head for home through the mountains in a couple of days. Not sure I fancy that journey in snow. Take care and stay cosy. Carol x
ReplyDeleteDrive safely x
DeleteOh no, training;;;;; thank goodness I've left all that behind me. I was not surprised to read you were not at work today. Having seen where you work, it does make sense for it to be closed. Even for you (and you're not 'older'!) as I'm sure you don't fancy a broken arm/leg/whatever! x
ReplyDeleteNo, I agree, I have tottered down the lane from the carpark with toes and teeth clenched trying not to slip!
DeleteToday I attend a full day of training…compression bandaging day 2…my back is not going to like me sitting down for most of the day I fear!
ReplyDeleteoh no - my sympathies to your back x
DeleteI can't believe you would be so insensitive, as to disturb the cat! ;)
ReplyDeleteoops, sorry miss 😁
DeleteThat is a beautiful cat! You had me at watching “through closed eyelids.” I will be back.
ReplyDeletethank you ☺️ The cat is such a character - we are her staff, catering committee and heat providers and certainly beneath her!
DeleteAt least the day was spent profitably, even if you were stuck indoors
