All the Borders schools were off today in anticipation of further snow dumps. Dire weather warnings evaporated in the morning, however, along with much of yesterday's snow, leaving a slushy mess of a no-news day. Didn't take long for the media blame industry to get started though, and everyone from Government ministers to spineless teachers are being accused of having no bottom in the face of adversity. It was never like this in the Blitz, in my day we battled miles through forty foot snowdrifts wearing only clogs etc. One Head Teacher got himself on the news boasting of having been at his school at 5.30 this morning clearing the snow so his school could open. It was the only school open in his area and I'll bet those kids were glad as they saw friends from neighbouring schools heading out for a day's sledging. Don't get me started.
Our two braved the cold for the sake of snowball fighting, building a snow fort and heading into town for bought hot chocolate; so much better than homemade.
Meanwhile no news back from my job interview so I've given up hope and am rewriting the experience such that I was too good for them and didn't really want it anyway.
They might phone tomorrow.
