A room with a view...
So, I just got up - and look what I saw!
Thats the view from the kitchen window. I live in the frickin South West of England. And its APRIL. We don't get snow here! Earlier this week I was out walking the dogs in a t-shirt in the pleasantly warm sunshine... and now this. Gotta love england. Holly was less than impressed. She's our youngest cat at about 20 months and I'm not sure she's ever seen lying snow before. She took one look when I opened the window for her to go out then turned round and marched back to bed where she's currently sleeping.
Everyone else is going to be ultra excited. My kids were all brought up 'dahn sarf' (a large portion of it in London, where it snows even less) and Geoff of course is from South London. Personally, whilst I begrudgingly agree that its quite pretty to look at from the inside, I bloody hate going out in the stuff, mainly due to growing up in the north east where we not only got snow, we got bloody great 10 foot snowdrifts...
Cam is awake and ULTRA excited though which is cute :-)
My brain has now officially melted after spending yesterday relentlessly going through my ebay listings in the hope of actually making enough money to pay my VAT bill at the end of the month. Its possibly the most boring thing I could be doing. And it was Saturday! I'm sposed to not work on Saturdays! I did get through everyhing I wanted to (by 2am) and I'm going to avoid work today if it kills me. Except for answering customer queries, ebay buyers not known for their patience.
I did get my photos CD on friday, but haven't yet got round to looking at it (yes, I've been working that hard!) o shall take a look at that today. And play with pretty things and let my head recover from the cruel and relentless ordeal it was put through yesterday (seriously - going through some 600 ebay templates and individually making sure that each and everyone was up and selling where it should be - a lot of shifting shop listings to buy now listings - is brain numbing in the extreme)
This week (and next) is the Easter Holidays (yes I know its not easter - they moved the school break because Easter was so early this year) so Cam, Darren and Jay are all home for 2 weeks *sigh*. Could be worse, Finn is still in school (as he's below school age and therefore in a private nursery) but I'm not looking forward to it. My kids have an annoying tendancy to go out of their way to wind each other up, fight and make endless noise.
Late edit...
It occured to me that as there's actually snow on them, I probably ought to take the opportunity to get a pic of one of our narnia-esque lamposts!
