A Winters Shower

Many of us will have received a shower of snow of the last week or so, we got our first taste of snow in our new abode on Tuesday. Amy woke up and had a look outside and said to me there was snow - I didn't really think of it at the time and kind of drifted in and out of sleep but it was nice. I like snow myself, it makes everything look clean and fresh. I then didn't like it so much when I started walking to work.. As we live on a bit of a slope and it was snowy and icy.. I was slipping all over the place. I seem to have pretty good balance and managed to not fall. I remember when I went to Iceland on a school trip I was the only person that didn't slip over got given a post card as a reward - oh yeah, the balance.

I always like watching snow because even though it is really just cold rain.. It is silent and calming. For me. I was looking at the window at it and its always a shame to watch it disappear where it can't set on damp ground. I do like me some snow.

On another side note - we are making some dang good headway into Parks and Recreation, we've just finished the second season and all it does is leave me wanting more because I genuinely enjoy it and laugh. There is a difference between programmes that are funny and those that make you laugh. I know it sounds like the same thing but actually laughing is a real testament to what you are watching. It wouldn't be the same going a live comedy showing and having a crowd of people briefly exhaling and just saying thats funny.

We find ourselves making a tough choice.. Do we go and see The Interview in the cinema or watch it on Netflix? Because.. Here it is easy, we can just pop it on, sit back and relax. The thing is - I really do like the cinema experience and also the Cineworld card make it so worth it as it is just turn up and enjoy. No paying, just parking. Decisions, tough ones eh?

So lets gets some pictures in shall we?

Day 582

Lets start with one of the snow, these pictures are curtesy of Amy as I am terrible at remembering.. I stand guilty to my sins.

Another thing I really enjoy about snow is all the foot prints, especially the animal ones. Something I always remembered was seeing little circles dotting around the garden where my cat had been. The birds feet would also leave lovely patterns.. Often overlapped by the cats ones.. I don't know if that is the cat being a cat or if the birds are just teasing him. Then again - he was dang lazy so I highly doubt that. We gave him food so why would he want to find anymore?

Day 583

And also.. Amy's little claim to fame with QVC'ers.

I have mentioned many times before how much she loves a Yankee Candle and they often sell them on QVC with new bundles that are not available in the UK. They also ask for you to Tweet in your pictures to be shown during the show. Her Tweet has now been shown twice on two separate occasions with two separate Tweets. Its like they are best friends and stuff. My oh my.

Thanks people. I have actually not fallen asleep before blogging, I am so impressed. With myself. Is that strange?

Anyway, thanks. Blog you later.
