Snow!

Yes, I know most of you think Englishmen are really silly who cannot take some snow - and to a certain extent I agree. But then think about how little snow one normally gets in this country (or at least in the southern parts). So why should you be overly prepared? I mean, even in places like Scandinavia and New England people are sometimes (too often) caught off guard.

Well, this is what it looked like last night (an attempt to take a photo of Tim in the snow):

And this is our kitchen window this morning:


It was pure chaos, to say the least. All bus routes shut down (as from last night, but Tim has reported that the drivers outside our local bus depot were engaged in a big snowball fight this morning), as well as all trains and almost all tube lines! I was secretly looking forward to a 'snow day' with Tim (yohoo! extra Sunday!), but as Victoria line was the only one fully operating there was not really any excuses for Tim not to go to work (Victoria line being the only tube line that is fully underground). I could have gone to the BL on the Victoria - but soon discovered that all the reading rooms were shut due to the lack of staff! So, cosy day at home for me. (And also a good excuse not to let Jim out, who is still looking a bit weak.)
