I've hardly seen outside today. Been a busy bee at work!

It's Winter Solstice this weekend, as the celebration will be at dawn on Monday, the man and I plan to go for a nice jolly on Sunday instead. Currently planning where to go, although we shall decide nearer the time depending on what the weather gods see fit to bless us with!

I love it when it snows heavily, especially if it's unexpected, as has happened a few times in my life. I love the quietness and stilness that comes to the city when there's been a heavy down fall of snow. I also love the crunching sound that's made when you walk on fresh snow. Snow is ace. I don't like it when it thaws and goes mushy though.

Right, it is December and I am supposed to get festive. So here it is.

A brie in a manger,
no crib for a bed
The little hard cheeses

lay down their sweet head.

The curds in the dairy
look down where they lay
And say with some curdling
we'll be there one day.

The cattle are lowing
It's their cream we need
To make all the cheeses
On which we will feed.

The ewes and the goats have
all done their fair share
To bring us fine cheeses
Wit great love and care,

At Christmas we love them
We never go short
Of fine ripened cheeses
And a bottle of port.

I used to work as a cheesemonger, but I camembert it any longer.
I'll get my coat.

I agree Yog. I never used to like it, but when I lived on my own a few years ago, I remember waking up for work one day and it being remarkably quiet outside. I lived just off a main road so there was always some noise, but not that morning. I opened my curtains and there was quite a thick covering of snow. It was lovely! I lived on the second floor and had a balcony, the snow was along my window boxes with a few twigs poking through the top. The gardens of the flats were covered and NO ONE HAD WALKED ON IT!! I got up, got ready for work and got my wellies on and went out in it. It was lovely! I walked to work, jumping in all the bits of virgin snow I could find.

Since then, I've quite enjoyed it. I love the way the city seems to stop. Its magical.

I used to work in Coventry many years ago and commuted there and back from Birmingham daily. I got up one winters morning to find that there had been an extremely heavy snow fall the night before. I heard on the radio that cars were being abandoned on the A45 between Birmingham and Coventry as the snow was so thick on the road. In a moment of madness I decided not to call in saying it was impossible for me to get to work. Instead I jumped in the car and somehow made it over to the Coventry office. Once there, I sat down at my desk, opened my diary to read that I was due in a meeting first thing at our Birmingham office. Doh!

    • I honestly didn't know it had, I still thought it was where the view overlooked the lake and view.   I think my decision not to attend this year at least was justified. Biffy was the big draw but after Finsbury I knew they wouldn't play what I want to hear again and well work also got in the way. Believed interesting to hear if Libertines were any good as they were also a pull but Sunday did nothing for me really with all my acts on Friday and Saturday.

    • Knocked Loose have been announced for Wacken, that's them at Bloodstock as well   I think they'd headline over Malev 
    • I hate tradmill running with a passion lol. Yeah the 1km reps are the one along with hill reps. That's what I did last time.  It's very a very hot summer and job circumstances to stay at the consistent level I was for the marathon earlier in the year. I've got a full set of the main distance new PBs this year. 10k isn't a problem most days but even today I went out deciding just over 5 mile was enough between recovery cruise and steady.
    • There is also a solid argument from Seventeen already that not enough people actually care if they book them also.
