Still a lot of snow around

It stopped snowing 6 days ago now, it stopped at around 5am on Tuesday morning last week — but you’d never guess to look outside, it still looks very white out there. Reminds me of the old days of snow where it would stick around for weeks and weeks to the point that I would get bored of seeing it.

Here are some pictures I took earlier today:

They say more is on the way tonight, fingers crossed. I can’t get enough of the stuff

It Snowed!

I love snow, honestly. I am 28 but I get as excited as a kid when it starts to come down. I went out to play in it on at least 4 occasions, I made a snow man, I jumped in snow drifts as tall as my head and I stood in the middle of a roundabout at 5am.

It stopped snowing in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, but they say that there is more to come over the next few days so fingers crossed for that. Here are just a few pictures of the 100s I took

Wild Wild Wild!

The weather is seriously wild here in the UK today, just how I like it!

It is freezing cold, I am sat inside with my hat and scarf on, big furry slippers and still have my fleece blanket wrapped around me. It’s gusting like mad outside, I can hear the water gurgling in the plug holes and it is pouring down with rain – puddles the size of small lakes every where.

I love it

Party Time, Excellent!

It’s interesting how Halloween has become so much bigger in the UK in recent years, it always felt like it was just a kids holiday here and it was only a big deal in the USA. I guess it’s just that us British love any excuse for a party these days

I am going to my very first Halloween party in a few weeks time, hosting by my other halfs boss…and I can’t wait, I have already been planning what to wear for weeks. Here’s what I am stuck on though, what do you take as a gift to a Halloween party? I have been searching around the last few days for ideas for Halloween treats and I have decided the best gift is something creative that will add to the party decorations, so I am going with either a Halloween flower bouquet or a hand painted pumpkin

Roll on Halloween!

The order was all wrong, all wrong I tell you!

I have been watching and talking about Big Brother for several hours now, I am worn out from it haha

So my favourite didn’t win, they came 4th.
My 2nd favourite didn’t win, they came 3rd.
My 3rd favourite didn’t win, they came 5th.
My 2nd least favourite came 2nd.
My least favourite won.

Doh!

King Rex should have won, he was an ass for sure but he was the most interesting and entertaining housemate this year by far — by an absolute landslide. He’s one of only about 4 housemate ever that I actually care about, in the sense that I will lookout for news about what they are up to and watch any future shows they appear on. Usually once they leave the house, I am over them.

Rachel, the girl who won, is nice enough. I never subscribed to the theory that she’s ‘fake’ just because she is perma happy. But she wasn’t a big part of the show for me, she wasn’t even on my radar for several weeks, she wasn’t funny, she wasn’t clever, she wasn’t unique, she wasn’t interesting to me — she was just, nice.

But it’s all good because I had put a free bet on her to win at odds of 13 to 1, so I am £40 up — if only I had put more on, I had £10, I put £5 on Darnell and £2.50 each on Rex and Rachel.

Overall it was a great series, but the finale was really anti climactic for me.
