the snow has gone but before it did it turned to ice on the steps outside our house and hubbie slipped and fell. He is Ok but rather brused and he has a big hole in his arm I have just had to put a big plaster on it. He did manage not to drop the box he was holding which was sweet but there was nothing of value or brakeable in it !! Oh well off to get blood stains out his shirt an sweatshirt. D
