curiouswombat: (notes from a small island)
[personal profile] curiouswombat
The great snowstorms sweeping across the British Isles have swept across the bottom half of the small island - blown by steady 35mph winds. It began to snow at 9am. It snowed almost constantly until 5pm - and not a single flake has stuck below about 1,000ft. I am really quite disappointed as I am a bit of a big kid when it snows - at least for the first couple of days.

I do, still, send warm wishes, mugs of virtual hot chocolate, woolly blankets and so on to those of you who are knee-deep in snow and feeling the need to cuddle up by the fire. I hope you are all enjoying the weather rather than finding it makes life too difficult.

And now for something completely different.

Across the Atlantic, The New York Daily News went out to find Mr Perfect after revealing the results of a survey by an online dating site into what women look for in a man. They reckon that they've found him - and guess what? He's a Manxman. Actually his father taught me French at school and I can vaguely remember him as a small child...

Ours usually doesn't stay for more than a day or two - and usually the idea is that any community nurses report, in person or by phone, to the nearest base, rather than their usual one, and see to the patients nearest to where they live.

Specialists like me chip in if we need to, and otherwise check with our patients by phone, so on the whole we don't have to drive very much!
