Thanks for the lists, although why you would put your lips near a car lock I’ve no idea and how do you pour ice on a windscreen?

I knew never to pour hot water anywhere and I shovelled snow off our path as soon as I could before it froze into an ice rink, so I think I did well there. I’ve also found that dishwasher salt works on a path, which is odd because I don’t have a dishwasher!

I’ve also discovered that teenagers with frozen feet don’t laugh at teachers in flowery lilac wellies, which is just as well!

With you on the ‘gay’ predictive text thing. Had an interesting text conversation with my mother after telling her that it was ‘really gay’. I couldn’t work out why she was being so huffy xx

Over here in Paris, we’re preparing for more snow in a big way tomorrow. Just been to supermarket to stock up on essentials – wine etc.

Bon week-end!
