A lot of other parts of the UK have had good snow falls in the last week, but not us. Sticking out at the bottom right corner, almost touching France, our weather is often different. We have it cold (the garden pond had ice on it this morning) but only flurries of snow that has not hung around. Probably a good thing, really!
My ride to work has been quieter for a couple of weeks now, due to some road works that are diverting a lot of the traffic. It should have finished last Thursday, but they started work two and a half days late, so are now over running badly. This is not helped by the fact that their trenches all flooded over the weekend, so they now have a ton of water to pump out before they can carry on.
I am not complaining, though.
Selfish?

Typical British road work project.... start late, finish late, annoy the residents.
Sorry to hear about the dove's demise, you obviously did your best to prolong it's life.
Your sprinkle of snow is pretty, I woke this morning to a snowstorm dumping about 20cm of snow, and -15C and strong winds blowing the snow into huge drifts. Sunny now (lunchtime) but still cold. I'm debating whether to take my books back to the library today, or risk the fine....
(verification word was lkent!!!!)
Toronto snow today..... see this video, hope you can access it

Shammickite - couldn't see this video but found others. Real snow!
Aw sorry about the dove, but you did your best and at least he or she had a caring comfy place to make the big crossover.
As a fellow bike commuter, I wish you many delays in the construction projects and little ice!
I'm sorry to hear about the dove, but glad he/she got to spend his/her final moments with you all.
Great news for you that they're delayed! As a car driver, I'd be frustrated, but as a bike commuter it's a great thing! Hope it lasts!
:( I'm sorry about the dove also, but you did comfort it.
Had you eaten it, I'd cut you.
I'm sorry about the dove. At least you he/she was made comfortable as possible during those final days.
Your road construction sounds pretty much like ours. Nothing happens on schedule and it almost always causes traffic problems. Cycling seems like the way to go!
