la snov

it's snowing today.  it started last night when i was lying in bed and i was watching the light from the window that was illuminating the wall and it was a strange yellowy colour so it seemed that something was different.  and the sounds from outside were different too, softer.  then i got out of bed and looked out of the window and the roof outside was covered in white.  it reminded me of the snow we used to have in leeds when i went to see my grandparents when i was small. 

this morning it took me twice as long to walk to my supervision, because the ground was slush.  but when i came out of the house i walked past a bush and it rustled, and i wondered if it was the cat that lives there and crouched down to see but no!  it was a blackbird with an orange beak rustling around under the snowy branches.  i'm ill today and i felt bad yesterday but i spoke to eloise and she cheered me up mightily.  today i have done little save my supervision.  i considered taking my camera out to take pictures of the snow but then i decided that one of the things i like about snow in cambridge is the fact that it is there just for a moment or a day and then it melts into the ground and it's gone.  and it's not the same when you freeze it in a photograph.  maybe.

i'm going to the cinema now to celebrate the fact that i now have more than £10 left of my overdraft.  i  wanted to see the wrestler but they don't seem to be showing it anywhere.  boo.  

oh, and i wish that animation was still like this; isn't it beautiful.
