Dr Price, thanks for giving me a laff to start the day! Talbot Green and 'white out' in the same sentence!

Sorry - I'm lapsing into Canadian again!

Yep - it's white in Carmarthen town too, but it's more sleet than snow. Still, I imagine that panic is writ large across the county. I too hope that the celebrations won't be cancelled. It's great to go into town at lunchtime to hear some of the junior schools doing their party pieces. I used to have an office above the town square and we got a great view of all the junior school kids marching up to the town hall in their Welsh costumes. To adapt the old joke about the New York St David's Day parade: 5 miles long and 3 feet high.

I think I'll down tools at 11 to watch Lizzie open the Assembly building. Gotta get m'self down there for a guided tour.

Oh - and apparently Dewi is the patron saint of Wales, and doves. Go figure.

Oh look. It's snowing again.
