F***F***F***F***

We are still in Yorkshire and it's all my fault.

It was thawing late yesterday, Mark said - let's go, but it was already gone 1pm, and we'd be getting home in the dark and I was worried about Dad, who needs a lot of forewarning about any kind of change to his routine and I said, no, the snow ploughs have been through, it's thawing, it's raining in some places now, it'll be OK, we'll leave tomorrow morning...

What the ploughs left behind has frozen into an inch of solid, shiny ice - everywhere. No buses are running anywhere between here and the motorway, not even central Huddersfield. More snow is forecast today, the sky is full of it.

We're buggered.

You're still stuck?

I'm afraid so, and I've just been informed my birthday presents are all still in Withnell, as is my phone which has been on charge now since the morning of Dec 23rd.

Shaking fists at it doesn't help, believe me I've tried. Could try lining the route with warm cabana boys...

Not too worried about the pressies, it's one of those birthdays I'd like to quietly forget. Any chance of me borrowing your '50' icon, in 26 hours, I shall be in need of just such an item.

Oh babe! Surely not! I thought you were decades behind me in the zimmer-stakes... the icon is yours for the taking natch - but I'm sure a nice randy, sexy, erm, artistically unclothed lad would be far more... inspiring!

Better to age than have the alternative... But 50 is hardly old!!

At least you'll have a nice treat when you get home!
