Slush and slow traffic

The snow is starting to melt, and the world no longer looks pretty and wintery – just slushy, patchy and dismal. Everyone seems to be going back to work again – having got used to the roads being quieter, it was a bit of a shock to the system to get stuck in full-blown rush hour traffic this morning. The lack of snow also means that the kamikaze bikers are now back on the road again swerving in and out of impossibly small gaps in the traffic and doing their bit to make my drive to work that little bit more challenging.
