May Blizzard
Wednesday morning here, clear bright blue skies and 3 degrees on the way to work. Dr P is safely back from the Big Apple, having finally got home at 2am, so we're both a bit bleary this morning. I sat up to welcome her home and listened to the Radio 4 morning news on the Internet to pass the time. The Tories have a 33-year old Shadow Chancellor - maybe it's time they started to out-Blair Labour... Anyone for the New Conservatives?...

Odd weather yesterday too - it's been cloudy and overcast for a few days over the weekend, and then on Monday night it seemed as though there was a storm coming in, with high winds and rain on and off. First thing on Tuesday am it was raining steadily, just like the weather at home really. And then on the way into work, it started to snow. Just a little a first, and just in the North-West initially, but as I drove further it got a bit heavier. I got to work as normal and got started on another Big Case in the operating room. Time passed quickly (as it always does) and when I looked out the window at noon I was surprised to see that the weather had moved on and there was now a full-scale blizzard in progress, a complete white-out making it impossible to see out. But then when I scrubbed out at 4pm, the snow had cleared and the blue skies were back again. There wasn't even any snow on the ground! Talk about all the seasons at once - this was like all the seasons during one case! And today you wouldn't know it's been snowing at all. The winter isn't officially over until the end of May, anyway, so we may be in for another touch or two of snow yet...
