The Power of Wishfull Thinking

Well, the skys are clear, the Sun is shining, Yet the company I work for is preparing for most the staff to be snowed in Tomorrow (Apart from the three poor people with the misfortune to live close to the office and are expect to come in anyway!).  They are handing out VOIP phones, setting up remote accounts and getting ready for a work from home day…

Snow

I like this time of year. The bbc are advising possible heavy snow storms in wales for wednessday/thursday… So with luck I can get snowed in and have a few days off work..

Indian Snow dance anyone??

Snow..

The world is a strange place.

has gone away skiing for a week to a place where there has been no snow for the last week, and as soon as he fly’s off. We get Snow here ;o)

Now if it can just get a bit deeper, So I can get snowed in from work I’ll be happy. We’re a ghost company ATM… Empty offices everywhere.

It is 14th Century Japan!

Well I battled the winds, the rain, the fallen trees, closed roads, and other dangers to make it to training last night.

Well, to leave the office early (Well tis hard to work in IT with no power) to get to ‘s to play “Age of Empires II”
then on to training. Where we did fun stuff which I can not mention on an open forum :0)

Alas being the highest rank there I was used as the Instructors demonstration partner (Forcing my mind to wake up fast to keep up with whats was going on)

anyway i digress…

After training I head back home, looking forward to a quick shower, coffee, some warm food and a chill out in front the TV. Only to get home to no electricity, in fact it’d been off so long even the stuff with battery backups had failed.. So Had to train, then have cold drink (which was not so bad as I found a stash of can’s) some biscuits (The only food I cound find that did not require cooking) then sitting about in candle light!  well that and the light from the laptop that I was using to watch a film!

Its actually very atmospheric watching a dark horror film in the dark with just the flickering light from candles…

FCMA: Weather V Ninjas

the weathers having an effect on the dojo atm.. The cold, rain, wind is for some unknown reason making people think twice about going to train in a freezing cold factory space?

Don’t understand it myself!

Ok. I was late getting there due to the very bad driving conditions. But still, Some people live just down the road from the dojo, and If I can travel vast distances, then they can get there as well.. Wasters!!

But. It was a fun evening, as it always is when there not many down.. More talking – Less training..

Weather Weirdness

You have to love the great welsh weather system.

This morning when I left to drive to work, it was cold, and actually snowing. Ok, it was more sleet than snow, but still the first snow of winter…

And now, the sun is shining and its Hot!!!

Ah Well back to work..
