Winter has finally hit my part of the world. After all the recent rain the snow began to fall yesterday. I didn't expect it to lie but I was wrong. Just in case it did I gritted the path which was a good thing. Really I only gritted it because Calum nagged me over it. He didn't want to have to clear it after the frost hardened the slush. That is a harder job after all than throwing down some salted grit. Mind last year we didn't have the grit until the snow gave way to spring melt or should I correctly call it pre-spring melt. After all Ayrshire's salty air usually means that the snow never lasts long, unlike winter which is always seems too protracted. At least for me. Maybe that is because I was a summer baby.
My job search has continued. In the past week I have lost count of how many applications I have filled out. That doesn't count the number of times I have sent out my CV to employers. I had a renewed effort this week after the quiet start to the year. Though I do feel a little despondent after not hearing anything back from the interviews before Christmas. Though when I think of it I shouldn't as it was just before the festive break so that would have a delaying effect on hiring new staff members. If right then with luck and a prayer I might hear something soon.
