SNOW etc

Sorry for the lack of updates! Both Elijah and I came down with bad colds this week... perfect timing, because London got about 8 inches of snow on Monday! Proper, actual, fluffy, snowbally snow...


And guess who couldn't enjoy it?!

Well, I did venture out for about five minutes... enough to get a few snaps of our street and Bruno's car.


Since the trains were majorly affected by the weather, Bruno worked from home via laptop/Blackberry... leaving me pure untouched snow to make footprints in!

I guess the only downside to it all (apart from being sick and not feeling up to walking around a lot) was the grouchy attitude of some folks. Granted, we're in a credit crunch and work is important, but I saw a guy being interviewed on television who wouldn't stop going on about how he was losing money. In the background his children were pelting each other with snowballs and squealing with delight.

I couldn't help thinking that in twenty years' time that man would give anything for one more snow day with his young children. Priorities, eh?

Elijah has discovered that sitting atop his daddy's shoulders is one of the most wondrous things in the world. B is looking grouchy because a) it took me a long time to find the camera and b) well... there was a slight drool issue. (Really though, he smiled the first four times I took the picture, until I realized I was shooting in video mode... oops.)

A special thank-you goes out to Chris O in WA for poking me for an update... and everyone should congratulate her on her new grand-nephew born December 12th!

I'll update soon on Elijah's 6 month milestone (it was Thursday!)
