I stayed up until three in the morning tackling jobs from the team meeting - so I would be free for the 'recession day' planned for Thursday. I finnally got to sleep sometime arround four but by the time I woke up, Milton Keynes was buried in snow. The school announced closure by 7am so the kids were off. I phoned Stephen Norrish and we agreed that this would not be a good day to visit various officers in CMK - who would all be struggling to get in at all...

So we have an official "snow day"...

What did we do in the morning? We built an igloo. We eventually had to abandon it due to tired children and dodgy walls - but it was heading in the right dirrection...
