Snow Galore!

If I thought last night was snowy, check out these photos that I've just taken in the last half an hour. These are houses opposite ours:




Our house:


Needless to say, I'm snowed in at home hee hee. P and I just saw someone skiing down our street, surreal!

Winnie is not too enthusiastic about this weather as it's very cold on her little paws. Luckily, she does her business on command and was very quick this morning so thank god for small mercies! I love it though. At lunch time, I am going to the park by the river to take some photos. It is getting heavier as we speak and I am so going to enjoy this day off!!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let it Snow!

Technology is a wonderful thing. A couple of weeks ago, a colleague read in the paper that we'd have another cold spell at the beginning of February. Taking heed of her warning, I immediately invested in a few pairs of wool and cashmere tights. I'm so glad I did because this is the scene outside our house as I type this:



Our street:

Our back yard:


I love the snow so I don't mind. In fact, I hope it snows so heavily tonight that all the trains will be cancelled and I don't have to go to work tomorrow. Please God, let the incompetency of these people benefit me for once!

My job is going alright and I am enjoying life in Brrringland a bit more now. I have met some nice people recently as well.

The great news is that P and I will be heading back to the Small Island for a short holiday over Easter and I JUST CANNOT WAIT! My dad has kindly sponsored my flight ticket (thanks Dad!). I am really looking forward to the warm sunshine, wearing my sexy clothes (if I can still fit into them ugh), chilling out during happy hour and shaking my boo-tay!

I have not gotten drunk since I moved here. Mostly because there are a lot of yobs out and about and I never feel completely at ease in this country. The other day, B-dawg asked me why I don't write much on the blog anymore. Basically, my life has changed a lot over the last year or so. P and I don't go out much so I just don't run into men in drag or meet other weird freaks like I used to!

But for two weeks in April, I'll be back home sweet home and I am going to let my hair down and PAR-TAY! Woo hooooooooooooo!
