It`s snow fun for the fainthearted

In the middle of our farewell party for Tamara, we opened the window as we were all so hot in our circus/clowns outfits and saw to our amazement that the the garden was covered in thick snow which was still falling fast. So some finished the evening with a snow ball fight, and tonight most of the residents are outside making a giant snowman (or snow woman) W for some reason has decided to do this wearing shorts.

We had a really good evening and Gavin, Dee Dee and Will excelled themselves with their amazing clown make up and other disguises. I had to discard my blonde wig as I got so hot whilst carving up the roast lamb, but we had two magnificent Uzbekistan national costumes, and J in spangles and everyone sported at least a red nose.

I have had a wonderfully peaceful day today as all the groups have cancelled, so apart from doing the usual Monday jobs and sorting out Tamara`s room, I had a good bit of time to do my homework for the writing group tomorrow (now cancelled of course) which is a modern version of a children`s story and I chose red riding hood only she is a hoodie on a rundown housing estate visiting her nan in a tower block, there is a bit of knife crime thrown in, and some desperate characters, but it ends happily -ish.

More snow is forecast for tomorrow. All the schools have closed, K rang to say there are no buses running in London, we don`t seem to manage snow very well in England.
