Snow, Graduation Balls and mobile new fangled technology

Snow - where's it all come from??? Seemsas if we've seen nothing bust the stuff since last week and i'm beginning to grow fur in an attempt to keep warm!!
We were hoping for a few more folk @ Louise's party on saturday, but said white stuff kinda put paid to that. But it was nice seeing the people who did manage and we chatted and caught up.
Sunday Lou was menat to be working, but after checking weather and the availability of sleighs and reindeers, it was cancelled, Which meant it gave her time to plan Monday's travels to the north.
Mmmm - 1st plan ws to travel by car - that was put on hold.
SO bus tickets were booked - one of the other mums had a promo voucher, so they got a £5 return ticket. Texts, phone calls, e-mails flying around to see if they could find out what roads were open, would the bus even get out of the bus station, never mind Glasgow!!!
 Monday morning, Lou headed off to meet the girls, wrapped up like Nanook of the North's cousin with food and drink in her backpack.  While she was travelling into town, she heard that the bus had been cancelled, so they headed to the train station. £50 for a return Scotrail wanted!! And no certainty that they would get to Aberdeen never mind get home. So the decsion was taken to phone the hospital and say they couldn't make it. After all - they DID have the Ball to get to!!

So Louise goes off to find something for her hair and then comes home.

Tuesday was spent getting nail, hair and make up dome - tweaked, curled and coloured to within an inch of her life!!! Quite how the curly hair stayed curly, i know not, but it did. In between all of this, Paul arived home - school ws closing and parents evening cancelled, so that was one less thing to worry about. I didn't need to rush thru all the appointments with the teachers then have to run home to help Louise get into her dress.

The dress - it was lovely - cocktail length, deep purple and shoes and bag thanks to one Mr John Lewis who has a small store in Glasgow!! The wrap wsa put on and she headed for the taxi. Now - not as simple as that - she put her boots on, got in the taxi, boots kicked off to paul and shoes put on!
As the meerkat would say - SIMPLES!!!

So off she went, had a great time, took loads of photos, drank, ate and ended up in what she thinks may have been a gay night club!!! She ended up with a guy who had been in her class in 1st year, hus boyfriend and another girl. Guys were great, girl was depressing and all Lou wanted to do was have fun!!!

She did. And sat at the top of the stairs and told me what fun she had - at 4.45 am!!!!!!
Have seen some of the photos and looks as if a good time was had by all!!!

In between all this, Paul decided to buy a new phone. It's quite a nifty and i like it.
No, fo me, a mobile is just something to phone and text with. The one i had was, i am told, a brick. AN old fashioned does nothing B R I C K!!!
So i decided to buy myself the same phone as Paul -theory being that if i got stuck, i could ask Paul for help.
The look on my beloved youngest son's face said it all - how dare i get a phone like his. I'm a fogey who has only just mastered texting - i'm old and i shouldn't be able to partake of such beautiful things !!!
Nae chance - i wanted a phone that could sing and dance and i wanted it, now , please, if that was alright with him!!

I did point out that i'd have only nicked his if i hadn't got my own way!!

So i'm now almost 21st century with the phone and even asked Paul a question that he couldn't awnser!!!!

Such joy! this technology may even catch on you know!!
ANd i can take photos!! THere will be no escape from the photo monster AKA mum!!! Watch for the slideshow of funny ones on You Tube!!!

Ah well - should go and feed the masses while i gaze out on the white expanse that is now my garden!!!
