After a day watching the rest of the country playing in the snow, it has finally started snowing in London. It's due to snow heavily overnight, so I'm rather hoping I'll get my snow day I missed out on last year. I've still got work to do at home, but it'll still feel more fun working from home than being in the office. Maybe we'll make some soup.

We had a long journey back to London - got here at 8pm on Sunday night, having set off from Holyhead at about 9:30. Mostly our fault, though, for spending 3 hours in Cheshire Oaks and an hour in Coventry. The actual journey was fine, apart from some heavy traffic on the M6. We were glad we took Sam and Melanie's advice and took the M40, not the M1 - it was completely clear, an absolute joy of a journey. And when we got back to our (freezing) flat we had reheated pie and roasted veg, which was very possibly even better than the first time round because it was so wonderfully warming and tasty.

What other news ... I'm fed up at work and shopping for new things - suggestions welcome. Speaking of shopping, I bought a wonderful new coat, 1/3 of its full price, in Kildare Village. It's so cosy and warm and waterproof and breathable and green, I'm glad I bought it. Oh and I bought ski gloves too, which are also lovely and warm and very pretty and they have a sort of wiper blade thing on the thumb for wiping your glasses.

Anywho, I'm off to bed - two duvets and a blanket tonight, it's so cosy. Just a shame the flat is so cold in the morning.
