Headache!!!

Snow again or what?

Adverse

Today it took me 2 hours to get from one place to another. Normally, it is just a 15 minute train ride.
Due to adverse weather conditions. That's the slogan.
Trains are delayed, cancelled. Flights delayed, cancelled. It takes several hours, sometimes a half day to clean up an airport runway.

Sometimes your flight arrives to Gatwick, but is turned around and is on it's way back to Budapest.

Due to today's wet weather, please take extra care...
...it's just SNOW!

Sleepy day. And some snow again to finish it off. Still no pumpkins.

Just in case

There are times when one loses one's hat. Then there are other times when one buys a new hat. And again, there are those times when one loses one's hat and buys not one, but two funny hats, just in case. Today it was one of those times. Yes, two hats, just in case.

Missing Ingredient

Decided to make pumpkin soup, found a recipe that promised a delicious outcome. Made a check-list, trotted off to Sainsbury's. Pumpkins, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, leek, pepper, single cream. Easy. Guess which ingredient was out of stock. Pumpkin soup another time.

Merry-go-round

Tonight, a small achievement: a merry-go-round ride on Leicester Square. I know it's not much, but I never ever go on any rides, anywhere, so don't ever try to convince me.

But it was something.

New year, ey?

Happy New Year!
