Wednesday, 1 December 2010. Snow Day # 3: Tinned Macaroni Cheese and Slightly Tipsy Superheroes. My gate is broken. Well, not broken. Stuck. Too much snow to move it. My neighbour has been eyeing up the mounds of snow at my end of the alley. He's been muttering. I've noticed he's left a shovel out the last couple of days so this morning I've finally done the neighbourly thing. I've returned it. Most important job today though is looking out for my new heroes. The Consett Cross Country Ski Pub Crawlers.

All bad news. I mean, a motorbike? In the early hours of a Sunday night Monday morning? And to be hit by one? I left my fia...
