Let me explain....
I left work bang on 6 last night and called into the Syndicate on the way home just to get an idea on how many carpers were already on ready for the weekend. As I drove through the gate I noticed that the first car park was empty,"that's very unusual" I said to my boss who I was giving a lift home. I continued round the track to the top car park and on nearing it I looked out of the window and caught sight of the lake......I didn't like what I saw so I turned away and then looked back again hoping it would change and it was just my eyes playing tricks on me. But alas I had not been deceived......the lake was starting to freeze!
As I pulled into the top car park that too was unsurprisingly empty, I turned the van around and flew back down the track all the while trying to keep my emotions in until I was alone! [I wasn't sure my boss would fully understand my utter frustration at finding the lake frozen not having chucked a lead for 3 weeks]

| Bloody Typical! |
I rolled a smoke and rang Martin to give him the bad news, we agreed that we would go anyway even if it was just for a few hours to wet the lines in a bucket sized area of wobbly water, desperate times indeed!
So this morning I jumped behind the wheel and made the short drive to the Syndicate. On arrival I was greeted by the same sore sight of the previous night, I drove round to the top car park hoping for a slight improvement but there was none, there was now snow sitting on top of the ice! Although the sun was beginning to show and there was a chance it would melt, the forecast temperature's for the night meant it would soon freeze over again as soon as the sun dropped out of the sky.
I had a quick walk round to assess the situation, then rang Martin to tell him not to bother getting out of bed!

Right, I'm off to sulk, if you manage to find some wobbly water I hope all of your dreams come true!
Until next time,
