"But as long as You love me so, Let it Snow"

A Christmas carol sung by Sir Cliff Richard on his Christmas album "At Christmas", which seems to fit this winter's day here in Christchurch, NZ. Woke up this morning being darker and colder than it has been for nearly a year. While getting breakfast I thought oh it's snowing, it won't settle too much, it rained last night. But I was wrong. I walked to work with snow coming at me, but thankfully managed to arrive in time to get my usual coffee from Starbucks.

6 hours at work, with some customers before we packed up and trekked home, by trekking I mean having Insup drop the boss off and then me. Came home to a cosy warm house, husband had been sent home before lunch. Cranked the heat up a little bit more and settled down for some movies. Started with Meet the Parents: Little Fockers, which was alright but not as good as the first two movies.

Thinking of snow and Sir Cliff makes me think how cool it would be to be somewhere in the northern hemisphere for Christmas (not this year, unfortunately) but soon. I know it wouldn't be like it is in the movies ie: Love Actually, but it would be so awesome to go back to the other hemisphere to have a white Christmas. A log fire, Christmas tree in the corner, with lots of presents underneath it, a lovely roast chicken or turkey for dinner and christmas music playing the background. Could so do Christmas right now, just thinking about it.

The second movie was finishing "How Lose Friends & Alienate People", with Simon Pegg. It's quite a funny movie set in New York, where Simon Pegg works for a top magazine. While watching it, I think about my desire to work and live in New York even, just for a year. This partly Sex and the City's fault but also coz it's New York!!!


And just before dark I managed to get some photos of the snow, that do look a lot like last years, but I promise they're not.

My delightful Husband looking so impressed!

Snow on our washing line.

Trees from a block over (love my zoom lens)

Trees next to the above ones a block away behind our house.

Snow.

Now we're watching some of the Queen's Jubilee Concert, where I know of the older performers than the younger ones (older meaning performers who were in the charts before I was born or when I was a toddler).

As for tomorrow, it's a wait and see/text message as to whether opening at usual time or if it's icy icy and open later. Who know's?? Either way must touch up my nails now. Ta ta for now. Keep warm Chch and snuggle up.
