Christmas is just around the corner along with it, New Year's, Valentines and before you know it, they light up the damn Christmas tree again and 2011 is over. Before I get all bitter and talk about the time flying by at an amazingly loathsome pace, I shall just remind myself to just narrate what is going on with me right now in the present.
This week was a little bit crazy. First of all, it's been snowing and there is about 20cms of snow on the ground. Yes, yes, it's lovely and everything but I have to tell you, it's only lovely when you see it from the window inside the house next to a heater or fireplace. Outside, the temperatures are freezing, a couple of days ago, it hit -16°C. Yes, you read that right. The UK is going into a deep freeze. It's apparently one of the worst winters in history. For the first few days, the snow was fun, but it kinda gets annoying after awhile, but i'll try to keep myself amused with it.
When I go out these few days, I have to practically wear 5 layers and wear boots or some kind footwear which is suitable to walk in ankle deep snow on the pavements. And when I'm outside, it's freezing, it's windy, the snow on the pavements can get slushy, so it feels like you're walking on slurpee. I'm actually considering getting wellies.
So when you look at the following depictions of a winter wonderland, keep in mind that it's windy, wet, slippery and freezing.
Stay tuned.

oh so pretty! No snow since last month over here (and hoping that there won't be for the rest of winter) cuz I've had my fair share in Minnesota and Indiana... hehehehe... You know what helps with the wind? Ear warmers and a good hooded jacket. Keeps your head and neck nice and warm and you can walk (really fast) all day outside til you start sweating ^_^
trade! for a wee bit. plz! :P
Ear warmers look weird. But I've gotten a beanie.
And no trading a bit. You gotta take the whole nine yards!
not if you buy the black one! My hair camouflages it really well ^_^
