Just been out to try and build a snowman to surprise the kids in the morning and I can't even make a snowball, let alone a snowman.  It just falls apart.

Oh well, will have some more wine instead.Posted Image

Well, the Elise is fixed but the A8 has gone to Audi heaven.
Old A8 now changed for new A8.  More wafting, care of 4.2V8 fun...

Scatty shakes his head in disbelief!!! A common occurance amongst s1 owners. Only used to sunshine and summers evenings!!!!

Look out for the yellow stuff!!!!!'

Yep someone at work made the statement that it was dry snow and you need wet snow to make snow balls and snowmen. WTF

It was the right stuff for sledging - I was definitely the oldest on the slopes. Gave me a chance to try out my Xmase pressie from when I was 50!
