From snow to rain

Well after all the snow we have had and temps well into the minus teens, it is hard to believe that today we have had nonstop rain. The temps are positively hot at +5C and ever since this morning it has been rain, rain and more rain. It has been coming down really hard too. Now we are going into the evening the winds are picking up too. The good news is it is washing away some of the snow, but they forecast cold temps overnight so all the rain will freeze and make it pretty horrible tomorrow.

They say we will have flurries on Christmas Day so it looks like a white Christmas both on the ground and falling are in order – I think it will be my first, I certainly cannot remember a white Christmas before.

We will not be doing anything special as we have no family over here so it will just be the two of us – how sad! There will of course be a few phone calls flying across the seas to the UK and Spain, but otherwise I expect it will be very quiet.

In the meantime I am becoming addicted to two games, both stemming from mymuchmor.com. The first is a game called bubbles which you get access to when you join and it is excellent. Lots of bubbles (balls) appear and you have to shoot at them with same colored balls to make them disappear. The further you get the harder it becomes and it is completely addictive. The second can be found at this link and is a bit like Sim City. Every time anyone goes to the site the city gets a bit bigger – great fun on a winters day!

Anyway, that’s all for now. If I don’t speak again before Christmas I wish everyone a good one. Don’t drink or eat too much and have fun.

Merry Christmas
