Day:299, Words:299

The wintery onslaught continued today. Yesterday's sudden snowiness was trumped by the shock today as I opened the curtains and peeked outside. Against the morning darkness, I could make out the height of the snow levels on the verandah. I braced myself as I looked out to where the cars are parked. The realisation wacked me in the face. There was a lot of work to do before these vehicles would be able to make it to work. Even if frantic shovelling would release the cars from their snowy cocoon, the roads had not been touched since last night. The main roads always have the top priority and there are those who have also booked the ploughs for their private driveways. Either we would have to wait, or we could make a daring attempt to make it to the main road, which hopefully would have been cleared.

Fortunately, another car before me had also attempted to crush through the fresh snow and make it to the intersection. By following his tracks, the Toyota made it through, and continued up the hill towards work.

At school a bunch of year 6s and 7s were starting their second day of a three day film camp. One group were working with the production of their own film, while the others were busy designing and putting together their own costumes.

At 8 pm, it was time for the gentlemen fitness group to begin. While the old boys group can at times become very competitive and occassionally overheated, the Thursday event is more of a social gathering. In fact, many of the same men have met on a Thursaday at the same time for 26 years. An hour of three on three football is always followed by some stretching and some lively male conversation.
