there was a huge blizzard last night, complete with roads up to uni closed and buses cancelled. we had classes today (my thursday tutorial is good fun. they talk and stuff. excited to be teaching them) but the uni felt moved to put this warning on the website:
"Roads are open but drivers should be careful, and watch out for possible icy patches and vehicles that were abandoned during yesterday's severe snowstorm. Allow extra time to get to campus.
TransLink buses are operating. People waiting for buses, and pedestrians, should be prepared for below-freezing temperatures."
the pic is from my office window again. on the right is the pond, frozen over but not enough to skate on this time. it was sunny today, which was lovely and unexpected. very odd to have the sun shining on yr face but be in such bitter cold.
i do enjoy this weather.

Glad you loved England. I do too. AND I've been to some of there!!! Isnt it hard to go back to the ordinary life!!

Fancy liking that sort of weather. Have I told you before that I'd much rather be having our hot weather and walking (rather than floating) down the middle of the river at Noreuil??????
Will write more next week.
Lots of love
Thank for the "I've been there" postcard!!!
OOh ooh it looks like icing sugar! But colder :) I'm glad you like that weather, I'm happy to be in Summer, snow's not my natural environment.

I'm glad you like the icy weather, I'm happy to finally be in summer. We've had 37 degree heat and a big thunderstorm in Northcote. Fun.
