I stayed home from work yesterday and as I was falling asleep on the couch in the afternoon (or maybe I had already fallen asleep, and I was dreaming - I'm not sure) I thought that I was lying on the couch in my parent's house sleeping and I thought I could hear my mother and CBC Radio in the background. I woke up feeling (well, first confused) all warm and fuzzy and a little bit homesick. And I had a dream about my (now deceased) cat Robbie last night too. He was sitting on my knee and I was making him dance (that was his favourite game - I just know it!) Oh, he was such a lovely, lovely cat! Sadly I don't have a picture of Robbie on my computer, but here's a winter view from the kitchen door over our backyard that my brother took last Christmas. There's nothing like a cozy day wintery day by the fire...especially one when it's snowing outside...the big fluffy snowflakes that settle all over you without melting and the kind of days where you come in with rosy cheeks and a cold nose but feel warm and toasty on the inside.
Well, it's off from work and into London weather (and should it be noted that weather was not actually invented in England, Nick) I go...
hey Jo,
ReplyDeleteWe had our first snow of the season today and it was exactly like how you described it! There's a blanket of snow covering T.O. making it feel more and more like Christmas is coming. I love this time of year. Everything feels purified from the snow - litter is covered and the slush hasn't really formed yet :) It's great.
Miss you!

Yeah, isn't pre-Christmas a horrible time to be in a foreign country! Mmh...

Ohhhh...snow...some of England got some today. Yay!
ReplyDeleteAnd The Flatmate, we might be making chocolate chip cookies tonight...but you don't know that yet. I might ping something off your head because you look so focussed over there at your computer...
