Freeeeezing!

Well, the usual scare mongering of the UK press has for once paid off, sort of, as after weeks of speculation we've finally had snow here. It started to float down this afternoon as I was in Waitrose picking up a few treats for dinner, and sure enough a couple of hours later we've got a couple of centimeters. Not a significant amount and much less than the rest of the country, but all the same it's always pleasing to see a blanket of white out the window. I suspect Phil will disagree with me though since he nearly wiped out our road sign this evening when the car elegantly glided off the road onto the path due to the tarmac turning into Teflon...

Other events of today include giving Rupert a bath, nipping into the bank to pay a cheque in and getting on with some work as well as making a batch of stew to freeze, some of which I had for my tea tonight and I have to say it was very nice indeed!

I also got around to taking down the rest of the decorations with the exception of the ones I can't reach. The tree was nicely bald by the time I finished ripping the tinsel and lights off it and also put up an impressive fight when I tried to deposit it outside, it had obviously become accustomed to a cosy living room.

It's time for bed now though, so I shall sign off. I wonder what the landscape will look like tomorrow, at this rate Phil won't be doing his usual weekly trip to Chertsey for sure...
