Been 6 days now for us. Consett is one of the highest places and it always gets pelted.

I`ve had to move the TV to the other side of the room (opposite the chair you see above) to get better reception..and as you can see... my carpet is nowhere to be seen..... :lol:

To those with cars... ey, yer might be finding it a bit difficult getting around etc..but I tell yer... have a thought for those without a car and with busses cancelled... trying to walk anywhere in snow as deep as this really takes its toll. Think on.

A few folk in my work are meant to be working till 8pm tonight but have been told to finish at 6pm. Even at that though, some are stranded in work since buses, trains and some roads are cancelled/ closed.

Also, just checked the weather for Hamilton and it predicts it to drop to -10 degree on Thursday night, which will sort out the men from the boys at football :)

The snows pretty bad in Hamilton, I've been quite lucky today, I was only ten minutes late for work this morning and only one train was cancelled on the way home. Still murder trying to get to and from the train station though.

Well I'm well and truly f**ked off with this lark now.

101 schools closed round here, every f**king single one of our school deliveries have tried to cancel. all of our staff got to work, what makes teachers so f**king special that they cant get to work. I dug my car out at 4:30 and made it to work for 5:30

every single one of our vans left on time, fully loaded.

This country is full of fannies.

    • Yesterday was another brilliant day of music for me. Some highlights:  My Bloody Valentine - absolutely loved it! Maybe my main festival highlight. I felt submerged in the music with all the layers and distortion. It becomes hypnotic almost as it progresses. Not as loud as some thought it might be, but it didn’t need to be. The visuals added a lot too. During the noise part of You Made me Realise, I was basically in a trance staring at the visual tunnel or whatever it was on screen. Amazing experience. Little Simz - as she mentioned at the start, you’re guaranteed a good time with her. Great performance just like in 2022. Zero complaints. The little DJ section wasn't something I expected but was cool. Kneecap - I had a blast but at this point in the night I was at my most intoxicated let's say, so I don’t remember it as clearly as I'd have liked to!    The xx - The sound for this was perfectly balanced (at least where I was) and the band were great. Lots of talkers, but with the crowd size and being kind of far back, it's to be expected. Intro was one of my favourite moments this year. Big Thief - really good live performers. The lead singer has a lovely voice. This was a nice chill way to kick off the mordor gigs for me.  
    • I've been attending Primavera every year since my first one in 2017 & it's always been my favourite week of the year, but I think things have changed.   Firstly, the site just feels too busy in this current set-up. I'm sure it was a lot easier back in 2017-19 to get between the stages & then a good spot for the next one, but now you increasingly have to sacrifice parts of a set or miss them out completely to plan for later on. I wish we still had the Bits area over the bridge to spread everyone out.   But the main issue is the talking, it's always been here but this year it's been relentless & I just can't tolerate it any more. It's at every stage, and everywhere from the front to the back, there is no escape. Not focusing on nationalities, but a major dynamic now seems to be groups of people who are only focusing on their own good time & aren't interested if this affects anyone else. It seems essential that all members of the group are together at the same time, so it's people making telephone calls, people on shoulders waving phone torches, people barging through. It's alright, I'm only trying to watch The Cure here.   I will have a year away to think about it. I thought might give up completely but yesterday was a bit of a classic day after two unenjoyable ones. Adding Olivia Rodrigo to Baxter Dury, Gelli Haha, The XX, Gorillaz & Kneecap shows how good it can be, but as with everything, it's always the people that have the biggest impact.
