If you were thinking that dad was exaggerating about the seriousness of the conditions on our roads yesterday, take a look at the picture above. This was taken during the early hours of the morning, just a few miles from our house (located from a news website). I took a couple of photo's yesterday from my car too, and I'll post them later tonight.
The roads are much clearer today, however we've just received word that the roads around Huntly (approximately 25 miles north of Inverurie) are about to be closed again! Indeed, it appears heavy snow falls have re-started in Inverurie also, so if it continues in this fashion then today may be painfully brief.
Although I was home yesterday I was still on the phone to the office for much of the day. I also decided - wrongly perhaps - to keep Luca off too. He was in full "little bugger" mode, and being disobedient was apparently a game he enjoyed! Dad bailed out before lunchtime (Luca had been really excited when he's initially turned up - "Randa, Randa!"), and Carole spent much of the day in bed so Luca and I were left to go head to head.
Predictably he won.
I did manage to watch some of a comedy movie with Carole though - "Pineapple Express". She loved it, I hated it, so I can't really say whether to watch or avoid!
Tonight, weather permitting, I'll be playing football while tomorrow will bring (dependant on the state of Luca's cold sore) another trip to the swimming pool. As always I'll be bench pressing and doing bicep curls beforehand in order to ensure Luca doesn't squirm out of my arms at the mere sight of the pool!
Sorry, both statements are incorrect - I will not be doing weights (still far too lazy right now....) and Luca's pool habits have been improving exponentially. When it comes to Mr Unpredictability though, you never know what he's going to be like. What I do know though is that much of his misbehaviour is conscious decisions taken to wind up his mum and dad! Another thing I need to work on is his vocabulary. He's started to make statements as oblique questions. "Chocolate for Luca, yeah?", "Pick me up, yeah?", "Bottle of milk, yeah?". We need to figure out how to address this and ensure his use of language is correct, yeah?
**Useless fact of the day - The recent snow storms in the UK are now officially the worst in 18 years**
