Alas, poor snowman.

As you may have heard, we have had some Weather here in the UK. A storm dumped a good six inches of snow on the West Midlands on Sunday. Which, since the whole of the UK goes into a blind panic at the slightest whiff of anything other than "10 degrees C, clouds and a slight breeze", means that the place has basically shut down for the past three days. The road network is an ice rink.

We have been doing our best to make the most of it, as Humuhumu's school has been shut. For instance, we built a snowman.


Keiki and Humuhumu put the finishing touches to their snowman. Snowman has genuine bits of coal for eyes and a carrot nose. He is also sporting a Robinson College [Cambridge] scarf.


And here is snowman two days later. Alas, he is listing hard to starboard.

No one really wants to get used to it, I think. How else would we get our snow days? :P

Black ice is the worst. I had a proper comedy fall on it this morning on the way to the train station. I was walking too fast and my feet went right out from under me. :(

It got me this morning. I was trying to go down town and I passed someone's driveway and I think them trying to defrost their car meant the exhaust fumes thinned the ice so I prepped for thicker, fell and have scuffed my arse. Talk about a sore one. Teetree bath was NOT fun lol

Oh no! :( Sorry to hear it.

I am not looking forward to inspecting my bruises later...
