Being forced not to work meant people had to slow down and live a little. Anywhere there was a hill people who never usually interact were sledging or even skiing down it on whatever they could find. The parks were full of people!
Id left my gloves around at Mr Special’s on Sunday and this wasn’t the day to not have gloves however when I got up I didn’t watch any news or TV, I just looked outside, wrapped up warm and got my wellies on and went out to work.
I decided to slow walk to the station and enjoy the snow it was beautiful, kept having to alternate the hand that was holding the umbrella so that my hands didn’t freeze but I just took my time enjoying the stillness and the softness of the morning. Just as well I walked, can you imagine if I had waited for the bus? When I got to the station my tube line was running but with delays.
So that question again, if you were forced to stay home for the day and not work, what would you do with it?

I would go out and make a snow man and challenge the whole street to a snowball fight. Then retreat to my lounge with hot tea and cupcakes watching chick flicks.
Do what I did yesterday...stay home, have warm soup, watch rubbish day time tele, then rush out like lil kids wiv my uncle and sis and snow fight...look at the beauty of the snow from my balcony and sigh and say 'Damn there's a God!'...
Wow, the snow looks so pretty! I would probably read some books, sleep, and maybe cook lasagne or one of my other favourite dishes.
I'd do all the little things that I can't do on a normal day. ie-Sleep in late, Listen to all of my new music, Read my two novels that were purchased two months ago and have yet to be read....and yes, like Robyn said..I'd make love..
Those pics are beautiful.
I live in Los Angeles so we don't have many snow days or rainy days, but I would probably cook a hearty soup and catch up on reading if I had a day off. I miss reading for pleasure...
@ Robyn, my fingers are crossed for you hun
@ Ondo Lady, stree snowball fight sounds fun
@ Shona, I'm gutted the snow has almost gone I wanted to have a snow fight like you! It was beautiful though..
@ Amanda, it was pretty, lasagne sounds yummy, you have just given me my dinner idea.
@ Tha BossMack TopSoil , can I call you Tha Boss for short? What do you prefer? I wish I could take credit for the photos but I didn’t take them all. The snow was beautiful though and it looked exactly like that/
@ Angelia, yeah I can imagine you don’t get much snow in LA, It was cold though so you are probably lucky.

LOL...I thought of you too. They joked about this on local (D.C.) news because we've been called punks by Prez O for opening school late during a snowstorm. Wasn't it something like 4 inches?
@ Torrance - well I ate mostly stews with rice and lots of hot drinks, we werent ready at all.
@12kyle - lol, its still snowing, last night people had to be recused from their cars lucky you in Atlanta. Glad Mrs 12 lets you know who the boss is lol
@CurvyGurl - well…yeah…*hangs head in shame* it was about 4 inches so not only is the whole of Europe laughing at us now you guys are? Hahaha!
We just werent prepared it hasn’t happened in 18 years on this scale so it just shut us down. Its still snowing and really bad..and they are running out of salt for the roads
Many Fridays GF and I have those days. I make her breakfast, we surf the web and share stories we read. Lovemaking is usually in the cards as her daughter is away at school. Then we relax in each other's arms and maybe nap. Or watch a rented movie. It's a "whatever" day.
maybe spend it with my hubz, watching movies, basically bumming.
@MilesPerHour - your whatever day sounds really nice I had one of those this weekend
@Shishi - pleased to see you dear, hope you are well
You are in London?
Whoa.
It's always interesting where one ends up on the Information Super Highway.
Glad you found me Kofi :)
