Of Snow, OU and Dougie Brown

[athersgeo]

A few quickie points...

1. It's snowing/sleeting here. Yech. I briefly had to drive through near white-out on my way home. Ugh. On the other hand, it's just that shade too warm for it to pitch, so this is good.


2. I've just registered for my next OU course "Exploring The Classical World". For anyone interested, the OU blurb for the course can be found here


3. The cough is finally on the wane - though strong smells (particularly cigarette smoke) are still setting me off and I can still feel it sitting on my chest if I breath too deeply.

And now for Dougie Brown. Who he, I hear you ask. He is a cricketer - and a sometime acquaintenace of mine in the days when I was regularly attending Warwickshire CCC matches - who plies his trade for Warwickshire. He's an amiable Scot and a very nice guy and now, apparently, a TV star.

There's a new commercial for KFC bargain buckets. In it, a brave soul hosting a children's birthday party (to judge by the number of kids!) arrives home with one. The whole thing's based on emphasising a lot of food and drink for not quite so much.

And amusingly? If it's not Dougie fighting off the children, I'm a monkey's uncle and he has one scarily identical twin.

Glad the cough is on the wane at last - hope it continues to do so

We had wet snow too.
