So here we are. 2010. A new beginning. A fresh start. A new me.
Yeah right.
It's only the 8th day into the New Year and already I've broken my all my resolutions, though I won't bore you with the details. Let's get on to the more important stuff. Like the weather.
No...seriously.
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past week you will know that Britain is going though it's own personal Ice Age and can't seem to shake it off. Now, don't get me wrong. I love snow. I love love love love love snow. But I'm not going to lie, I'm not the greatest walker in the world. I walk along a moving bus, I fall down. I run up the stairs, I fall back down. Walking between classes at college? I think you know where this is going...
So yeah, as if the world wasn't against me enough already, it's now decided to throw a blanket of snow over the whole country. The first day was fun enough; sledding down hills, having snowball fights, building snowmen and watching my dog create yellow snow... But after 2 days of person after person trampling over the nice, light, fluffy stuff it's become personal. It's been crushed and flattened and compressed down into an immensely slippery layer of ice. And it's become impossible for me to walk at all. The moment I stepped outside today I was "slipping like a slipper" (my favourite quote from a friend of the week) all over the place. 5 seconds later I was back in the warm, pulling up my woolly M&S socks (with pom poms on of course) and drinking hot chocolate. Now that's the way to be.
Yeah right.

Saying that, I haven't actually fallen over yet. Or seen anyone fall over. Except of course on the GMTV VT they play whenever they talk about "the great chill". It's quite funny, you've probably seen it. Basically a woman falls over on ice, a man runs up behind to help her and then he falls over the same patch of ice! Funny? Not so much? Guess you had to be there...
In other news...
OK let's be honest here. There is no other news really. Everyone's in such a panic about the snow they don't care about anything else. Milk is being poured down the drain because Milk Men (they still exist?) can't get down side roads to make deliveries. Drivers are being urged to collect their abandoned cars. Thousands of schools are closed due to, you guessed it, snow. I think I've had enough snow for this year thanks.
I do have one piece of news, not related to snow, to tell you about actually. I've just set up a Twitter account! So, I have no idea how to use it and no followers and in the past I've not seen much point in "Tweeting", but just in case my Blog gets discovered I thought it may be a nice idea. I figured, "I update my facebook status every minute of every day, why not Tweet?" What a brainwave.

And do check back in the future, the New Year's resolution I have not yet broken is to Blog my way through this year, and I promise that not all my posts will be about snow!
