More snow

1st of December and there is more snow chaos - it takes hours to get to work and back and I just feel knackered by the time I get home.

On a lighter note it's only 15 days till my 50th birthday - I always imagined I would have a great big party with loads of old music and lots of dancing - it hasn't panned out that way for various reasons, so there's a good chance it will pass by like a wet Sunday!

Snow

The snow has arrived! I've been away from work this week looking after Jason who's just had surgery and now the snow has arrived. The bin men couldn't get into the street to empty the bins and today we had no post deliveries either. Last night there was so much snow that the sky was white and it didn't get as dark as usual. I managed to take some photos around midnight - hand held camera, no flash!

The snow came back thick and fast today - it caught us all by surprise because the morning started off quite dry. All the cats are feeling the cold, Jasper and Carmen even squeezed themselves into the same cat bed.

Came across a great cat artist who also has a blog - Bruce Andrew McKay - http://bigcatheads.blogspot.com/
I love the colours and the expressions.

The snow has gone as quickly as it arrived though other parts of the country are still freezing - Sarah was disappointed that her school wasn't closed due to the weather!

Well the snow definitely arrived - have posted a picture of my daughter Sarah 'tormenting' some of the cats throught the kitchen window. The cats all went out, got cold and wet then came in and covered the house in dirty wet cat prints. Just as well I'm not too houseproud...LOLs

1st of February and we're expecting snow - even the cats think it's too cold to stay out and play in the garden.

Was looking at the Wetcanvas site and noticed a post about Winsor and Newton acrylics - it seems they have reformulated their Finity artists' acrylics, can't wait to try them - just need some spare cash! Spare cash might be hard to find at the moment as the recession is hitting hard and my partner is waiting to hear whether his job is safe.
Anyway I can recommend the Wetcanvas site if you create any kind of art in any medium - it's listed in my links.

What a surprise, we've had a few days of snow - haven't had very much December snow for the past few years. It looks great but it's not so much fun trying to get to work - especially on public transport.
