Another snow day

The sun didn't last long... it started snowing yesterday around noon and hasn't stopped since. Luckily the snow is dry and fluffy and thus not too appalling - for now at least. However, worse is yet to come: more snow and yet more snow mixing with rain later on and so for at least another week...

Besides, my (in)significant other has contracted man flu and getting ill is the last thing I need now.

Microfiction Monday

A year ago Ruby sneaked from the party to meet with her lover.
Now she will make sure nobody sees her when she deals with her blackmailer.

Almost a miracle

I stopped counting the dismal grey and rainy days we've been having for seemingly forever when I woke up this morning to see this. And the blue sky held throughout the day which, quite understandably, drew out masses of people crowding on every path in the neighbourhood. Crowds make me nervous, though, so I didn't join thefrenzy for long.

But guess what's forecast for tomorrow? Clouds and snow, and then more of the same for the rest of the week...

Weekends are supposedly for reflecting

So, here's a simple one...

For Thom

and, of course, anybody else who chances by

Fire in the sky...

Actually, smoke on the water too - after the rain had stopped the fog drew in so these are about the best I could muster on the occasion.

Happy 2010!

If not exactly happy, I'm glad 2009 is finally behind me.

I wish everybody that about a year from now you sit down and say, "Wow, this twenty ten was insanely good! If only the next year were just as cool!"
