SNOW – lots of it
WIND – blowing a hooley round my house
= WILD FUCKING BLIZZARD
It hasn’t let up all morning.
And I’m snowed in. Not downstairs, that’s okay, but if I need to get out of one of the two upstairs windows that face the BLIZZARD I can’t because they’re CAKED IN SNOW, I can’t see out of them it’s piled so high up the windowsills. I had a panic attack when I realised I’m snowed in so Lottie told Scotty to get the big ladder out of the shed and go and clear it off. He said ‘But she doesn’t go out,’ so I said ‘THAT’S NOT THE FUCKING POINT.’ He’s doing it now. I’m sitting on my bed watching him and he’s swearing like fuck – the wind’s too strong for me to hear but so far I’ve managed to lipread FUCKING ‘ELL — SHIT — FOR FUCK’S SAKE — BASTARDING FREEZING SOMETHING SOMETHING WANKER. And he’s just said BOLLOCKS.
They all stayed here last night, Scotty, Lottie, and THE BERSERKERS. Scotty slept on the couch, Lottie and THE BERSERKERS slept in my bed and I slept in the spare room which was nice, I’ll have to do it again sometime, it was like going on holiday and waking up and not knowing where you are and realising oh, I’m on holiday, except I went oh, I’m in my spare room.
Last night was lovely. I didn’t have to do anything, I vegged on the couch with a plate of Cumberland sausages, a packet of Hobnobs, and continuous refills of nice cold Diet Coke. And THE BERSERKERS who I thought at first would start slapping me on my bandages or something, but they didn’t, were KIND TO ME. We watched a film (Cinderella? I don’t know, I must have dozed off) then when it was time for THE BERSERKERS to go to bed they told Lottie they wanted ME to take them up and tell them a story and, bless their little cotton socks, so Lottie wouldn’t hear, they didn’t tell me it was WINNIE-THE-SHITE they wanted till we were up in the room – they’ve got their heads screwed on the right way, those two. I thought they’d have forgotten WINNIE-THE-SHITE by now, I almost had but they put me right if I got a bit wrong.
When they were asleep I went back downstairs. Lottie and Scotty were in the kitchen, doing the washing up.
‘Did they get off all right?’ Lottie said.
‘Yep. Fine.’
‘What story did you tell them?’
‘One about a bear.’
‘Winnie-the-Shite?’
‘HOW THE FUCK DID YOU KNOW?’
And she LAUGHED!!! Lottie!!!! And she threw some Fairy Liquid bubbles at me and then she threw some at Scotty and we ended up having the best laugh we’ve had together since we were little.
I’ll have to go, Scotty’s getting down off the ladder and he looks like a YETI. I’ll get him a towel, one of my new bathsheets from my collection in the airing cupboard. And I’ll make him a cup of tea for when I ask him to go back out and clear the gutters – he might as well do it now seeing as the ladder’s already out.

I had a feeling the Berserkers would want more of the story — it was so much fun to start with! Maybe you should write a book about Winnie-the-Shite; Im sure there are other berserker kids who need to hear it.
I am very happy you you and Lottie and Scotty. Sounds like Lottie is keeping him in shape. Hopefully the snow will ease off soon, but in the meanwhile, enjoy your cozy day! I’m off to the doctor’s here in about an hour [\– has to be done! Enjoy your night and tomorrow morning — I’ll be writing soon!
Love,
Judith

If you or Scotty need me as a SNOW EXPERT consultant, please let me know.
We eat snow, wind and blizzards for breakfast. Then Lord Evil Poppy eats us.

I gave you 100 little presents for your 100 posts.

P.S. I ALWAYS write back to comments unless it’s a natural finishy comment. When have I not?

/ April 4, 2012Dear Dotty,
We have a wicked storm whipping up here, too. Loads of snow is threatened, which should probably throw a few motorists for a loop. I suddenly have the Toy Dolls song “Modern School of Motoring” bouncing happily through my head at the very thought.
Much love, and stay warm.

/ April 4, 2012Dear veggiewitch,
Hope you don’t get it too bad. Ours has melted a lot this afternoon – if Scotty had bothered to watch the weather forecast he could have waited to do the gutters. Stupid man.

I know SOME American things – Diet Coke (obviously), Champion the Wonder Horse, McDonalds, Elvis, DIRTY NASTY SQUEEZY CHEESE (I saw it on someone’s blog), Dexter, lots of SERIAL KILLERS, lots of horrible food … I think that’s it. Oh and BIG LOUD VOICES.

I saw Twinkies somewhere – can’t remember where but I know they looked vile.

They’re not fresh (at least the bread isn’t) and they’re not easy – and their Cumberland sausages aren’t as cheap as Asda’s.
