Today it has snowed off and on all day, some of it has been the snow equivalent of drizzle, really fine but surprisingly heavy and some has been those really fat, slow flakes that make everything look like a christmas card. This is the view from the front door.

Tom commented that there are so many windows in the lounge it is like sitting in an inverted snow globe, he is right and so as it was -3 I felt that meant I didn't need to actually go outside today at all. The children went out in the back yard for a while but Rose got tired of wading through knee deep drifts and Jacob and his sledge kept sinking and not getting anywhere.
I woke up this morning with all sorts of ambitious ideas about starting the year with purity, self control and a lot of fruit and salad but by lunchtime I'd accidentally managed to eat a large pile of cheesy corn chips, a couple of chocolates and a piece of Christmas cake. January 1st seems like such a bad time for the New Year, fresh starts and resolutions etc, it would be much more sensible to have it in the middle of January like the Chinese New Year when all the Christmas food is finished and you've had time to psych yourself up a bit.
