wet, wet, wet ..... with some black ice thrown in!

---

We've had a very cold few days, and when it rained Friday morning on the cold ground, it turned straight to ice. which was hard as I couldn't turn the car round to get down the drive........ and i was taking Ineke and Caroline to Birmingham to see the Messiah (King's College and Age of the Enlightenment).

In the end, it melted thanks to heavy rain, and I was on schedule. I picked Caroline up, to find that she had fallen on the ice and thought she'd broken a bone in her hand - turned out she had, but came anyway! Of course, Ineke has a broken ankle - load of old crocks.

We enjoyed the Christmas market despite a soaking, then the concert was wonderful. But it took 3 hours to get home thanks to roadworks and diversions. So I got to bed almost as the cricket commentary started. And I missed the best bit of the days play in the end. Never mind. Tune in tomorrow.

first pay the car park
and then find the way out - the lift only stopped at even numbers, and our exit was odd. So we walked out the cars entrance.

Ineke
whizzing up the wheelchair ramp - look, nobody pushing.

and the lights
the men in yellow coats had a surprise when I took this photo, as I let go of the wheelchair and due to a misunderstanding, Ineke failed to take control.

we had to eat at Symphony hall as it was too wet to buy food at the stalls, though it looked delicious.

broken hand
AND its the right one

we had good seats
due to the wheelchair we were unable to access the originals up in the gods! So they swapped

inside Symphony hall
it was lovely and warm, so we dried out. But I had a bag of wet hats, scarf and gloves to dry out at home.
