Snow, more snow, and something truly terrible...
OK, so I have been told to set up an LJ for myself. Since I have something silly to share and some time to do it I thought I would oblige...
On Monday, I marvelled at the snow here in Cambridge - far more than for many years, and so went out to play in it with my daughter. The result was fairly typical:
So far so normal... However, sadly on Tuesday the weather warmed up and the snow melted a lot, and my snow-golem deconstructed into the two large lumps of snow from which he was constructed. The result was deeply sad, and so I have no picture.
Fortunately the weather turned colder again and Wednesday night there was more snow (hurray!), and so today I felt there was enough snow to warrant a repair job on my snow-golem. Out I went and set to work, but something odd happened, and I found myself falling into a trance of shifting snow around, and was unaware of what was going on. Later I came out of the trance, and discovered that a terrible thing had happened - no longer did I have a snow-golem, but something utterly evil which the universe should never have been forced to see:
A Snow-Dalek! What had possessed me? Hurriedly I headed indoors and managed to do so before being exterminated. Perhaps the spirit of Davros came upon me. I just don't know, but have no intention of going back into the garden until it seems safe once again.
