We did go out yesterday, but it wasn't great :( It snowed overnight, and the roads were horrible. There was snow on top of a layer of ice. We made it where we had planned, but the drive was pretty lousy. The person behind us on a chunk of the drive was too close. I think he just thought that if he got closer we'd go faster. Husband was driving as conditions dictated. He was following behind traffic but not too close. At one point, the person behind tried to overtake (there were supposed to be two lanes on the motorway but the outside lane was completely covered in chunky ice!) but gave up as the ice was too bad on that side. Ended up back behind us, right up our backside again. Sigh.
It was foggy where we ended up. Not the nice kind, but a dull kind. The ice was lovely, but the light was terrible to take photos in.
The good thing was that by the time we drove back the roads were completely clear.
Today was still very foggy out. I went for a walk and made a couple of stops and then came home.
Update on the time management - it's not going well - something to definitely work on! I spent too long out walking today. Not because the weather was great and I was enjoying it, but because the trails were icy and slippery and hard going in spots. I've decided that tomorrow I'm having a shorter walk and getting things done. I've made a list (something I haven't done the last few days). Seeing things written down does help keep me on track!
Another video - this one from yesterday. It made me smile to see the swans and ducks on a piece of ice as it floated along.
I uploaded this one from my computer. Not sure which is better! Can everyone access the Youtube videos or is it better from the computer?
Hopefully back tomorrow! I'll let you know if I get all my list completed!
I could see both videos; made no difference to me.
ReplyDeleteTime management is a Dark Art. For me the secret is to have 2 lists; the main one and a very short (2-4 items) today list. Otherwise I eye up the list and go and read a book instead!
Thanks. Glad you could see both videos! I'm never sure lol.
DeleteI am terrible at time management. I'd rather be reading a book or something, but I'd never get anything done. I'd really like to get things sorted to make retirement for husband a reality.
I'm glad you and your husband had a safe drive. I hate it when people get too close to me when I'm driving. Loved the video of the ducks and swans drifting on a piece of ice!
ReplyDeleteIt was so funny to watch them.
DeleteIt makes me quite nervous when they do that especially when roads are bad.
Some drivers are just awful. We have a camera on the rear windscreen and that seems to make drivers fall back.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing the birds on the ice 'floe' - very cute.
I really need to get one of those for my car. Daughter and son-in-law requested them for their cars for Christmas the other year.
DeleteCheering you on! And just one thing is better than nothing, so celebrate every win.
ReplyDeleteThank you! That's a good way to think.
DeleteI hate it when someone drives too close to me. If possible, I stop and let them past - better ahead than behind me. xx
ReplyDeleteI don't like it, makes me nervous. Usually they would just go round, but didn't dare move in the other lane as it was just chock-a-block ice.
DeleteI hate when my husband drives too close to people. He seems to think they're going to drive faster.
