It rained last night, then froze. As a result, many of the roads in Sussex were closed this morning because of black ice. It also meant that our milkman didn't arrive. We have a delivery three days each week - Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Of course, he failed to arrive last Friday, unsurprisingly, but did get to us on Monday. As Friday this week is Christmas Day there will be no delivery, so we doubled our order for today. Now I shall have to push my way through the crowds in the local supermarket to get some milk, unless the newsagent has some left. I have to go out anyway as we need to collect the meat ordered from the butcher.
This snow and ice is a real pain. It looks very nice on calendars, but they can keep it in Switzerland as far as I am concerned.
The quote for repairing my car arrived this morning. The work involves just a couple of scratches to be rubbed down, possibly filled, and then the bumper resprayed, although as there is also a scratch on the black plastic underpart of the bumper that will need to be replaced, but the part costs just under £50. I was astonished to see that the total cost is over £400 - and this body shop is not the most expensive either. Then there will be the cost of a hire car while mine is in the shop... It all adds up to a tidy sum for a moment's carelessness.

Hmmmmm.
The title of this post could just as easily have been the title of the post on Les Levandes.

Now why didn't I think of that?
