What I forgot was that under the fresh layer of snow was still essentially the crappy icy stuff that made the top layer prior to the overnight snow, so I had a mini-skid on the drive as we walked to the local Tescos to stock up on food again. KS and I probably looked a bit strange as we broke into a mini-snowfight along the way, that involved kicking up snow at each other.
Mum said to buy in the basics - like bread and butter. Somehow we came back with blueberries, hot cross buns and toilet roll. I would have to admit that when the snow started falling, my first concern was "what happens if we run out of toilet roll?" which in turn makes me think that Chuck the Prophet might not be so looney after all.
Other shoppers took to stocking up on items such as milk (observed; one person - 2 semi + 2 no-fat), bread (observed; one person - 4 loaves), one person going for 16 rolls of toilet roll (I only went for a modest four).We came home to find Coco lolloping in the back garden. As we rounded to corner to the back, she froze, assumed her "guard" pose (i.e. stood stock still with one paw in the air and a perplexed and wrinkled-in-concertration face looking at us) till she realised it was us and then she bounded over, tail wagging, before taking off again with a mouthful of snow.
Here she was at the end of it, looking dressed for a Gap for Dogs advert.
