True Grit

Well, they forecasted more snow and the weather hasn't disappointed. I was crunching through about four inches of the white stuff as I left for work this morning, which made a joke of the light dusting we got a couple of weeks ago.

This time the council did grit the pavements. They also gritted the roads as the unlucky guy standing next to me and I found out as we waited to cross one - a gritting truck went past and gave us both a blast all over our trousers and shoes. And I swear the driver was laughing his head off, the b*stard!

Hot & Cold

Went for a quick drink after work last night with Big D and the Joonatic as my tube line into north London was screwed and I found myself ejected in the West End.

Discovered those two loitering around still so we decided to go and kill some time until transport matters sorted themselves out. The usual discussion about where to go for dinner eventually surfaced and we decided on duck noodle soup at Big D's new favourite lunch spot, but it wasn't to be.

On the way there we walked past the small Korean food bars by Centre Point and got enticed by the prospect of a nice tasty hotpot. The kimchi chige topped with ramen that we ordered was perfect for the cold weather at the moment because it was so spicy, we were still burning as we left!
