We play endlessly

I bearly made it to work this morning, though not for the normal reason of hangover of lakc of sleep. I had to brave the worst snow in 18 years on the way in to work. Normally this would not be a problem, as my daily commute is only a few miles. Only yesterday I travelled to York to visit Kasia. This meant I had to scrape 4 inches of snow off the car. Then drive down a rather snowy M1, across the blizzards over the Pennines on the M62, finally braving the M60. I left at 6.30 and arrived at 9.15, it usually takes one and a half hours!
It had been a very nice evening with Kasia. We went for a walk round York, which was very pretty in the winter air and moonlight. Then we eat pizza listening to music, my free Independent Sigur Ros CD and her 80s French pop, it was very relaxing.

Relaxation was something I badly needed having spent the last few days decorating. Specifically repainting my kitchen. It turned out that the stains on the ceilings cant be stopped, they have come through a layer of plaster, PVA, and two coats of kitchen paint. I found a stain blocking paint at B&Q which I applied to the ceiling, it stunk like heck being oil based and high in VOC's. The stain blocker was also white so between squinting to see where I had painted white on white and breathing in these fumes I felt pretty high by the time I was finished.
