Well ... bums!!

No snow here but it's a tad on the cold side. Sun is out and the skies are blue. Lovely day to be out.

It started snowing here at about 8.30 pm yesterday and by 10pm we had about an inch of it. I tentatively made my way to the car this morning and drove carefully to work, just as more of the white stuff descended on us. The Head told me to park in the disabled bay if the weather was ever 'iffy' and so I did. (It's on the flat and fairly near to the main door.) A guy who was attempting to clear a path asked if I'd like to hang onto his arm for the 'trip' from car to school, but I declined (I'm not that old or infirmed ........ yet. ) I got in to school, chuffed that I'd made it in without incident, and then promptly slipped on the wet tiled floor. Luckily I didn't fall but 'ouch' .............. my knee didn't enjoy it.

The teachers I work with have told me not to go in tomorrow if we get more snow (it's forecasted) (I reckon think that they I could be a liability) and I'm soooooo tempted to take them up on their offer, but I doubt I will stay at home.

It was rather painful so I was hobbling more than usual, but I've rested it since getting back from work and it's settled down now. I recently started wearing a full support strapping with metal ribs down both sides of the knee and I'm sure that if I hadn't been wearing it it would have been a lot worse. I didn't actually fall, thank goodness, but my left leg slipped and I twisted round to stop a fall. The children probably thought I was auditioning for 'Dancing on Ice.'
