I'm writing this at the unearthly hour of 5 am. Oh my good god..eevrything is totally covered in snow...transport for london says buses have been withdrawn :-s i am wondering, i have a visa appointment today at the home office etc, whether they'll consider altering the date...
oh this is just so exciting (but so bad as well)....
And i have a major major sore throat/cold/cough/fever coming...
but cant help feeling soooo excited....:p
I'm excited too!! I can't remember ever seeing snow like this in London before, everything's so quiet outside and it all looks lovely, even my sickly twiggy plants. I think the last time they stopped all buses was during the big storm years back, so the roads must be quite dangerous for TFL to withdraw them. I believe some bendy buses slithered off the roads or something. The only bad thing is I've run out of coffee...
I cant take the tube, cos I cant get to the tube, i cant tak the trains cos the website says severe disruption...there is NO way i can get to my visa thing today, and these people arent answering calls...
what do I DOOOOO? is it my fault that i wpnt show up at Croydon? i have NO idea what to do...(will cry any time now...seriously)
PhD bug I have family in Croydon. They are all off work and sledging instead. I think probably people in Lunar House won't be able to get there either, which is prob why they aren't answering the phone. It is pretty exceptional circumstances, so I wouldn't stress too much about you appt, but that is obviously very easy for me to say. But that's my local knowledge. Croydon is higher than central London too, so will be snowier.
We've got snow here too - all the schools are closed and we're forecast heavy snow later- should be fun :-( I wouldn't worry bug, I think London is pretty much shut lol. They'll understand - when London cancels buses and trains they can't expect you to get in. It sounds as though you need to tuck yourself up in the warm and get yourself better xxx
