We had our first significant snow fall of the season yesterday. I measured 8 inches on the bench last night and it was still coming down. Didn’t get a chance to measure this morning. The news estimates were about 13 inches. Max had a great time in the snow and especially when he went up to the playground to play on the truck and slide down the slide. With the snow he was able to keep sliding for several more feet.
Harry Potter!
Kate flew in to visit for us to go see HP7 Part 1. We did a whirlwind tour of London on Friday. Saw Trafalgar Square, House of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, lots of underground stations, Buchingham Palace, Piccadilly Circus, and drank darn good hazelnut hot coco. Grocery shopped at Tesco Extra. The cart’s (trolley for the locals) wheels all pivot making steering the cart challenging. Finished the day with dinner at Greystone Pub in Sawtry. Managed to keep her awake long enough to actually eat dinner.
Toured Cambridge on Saturday. Could not convince Kate to get some sushi. Bought a Christmas tree that evening.
Sunday, finally got to see HP at the 16:30 showing. Wanted to see the 14:30 showing but amazingly it was sold out. Kate wanted to just choke me! Can’t blame her for that.
Sadly, she was off to the airport Monday morning at 05:00.
Now just two weeks to go till Heather and the kids arrive for Christmas.
