Snoooooow!

Again, we have snow! Last night we watched  film about Edith Piaf with E and I got to sleep quite late and woke up too late, it was already snowing. I went to Redditch to visit J, my sister. Two Estonians in snow! She has a very nice hat, I want it!

My train was only a bit delayed, but traffic is crazy, not many cars and the ones who are brave or stupid enough to go out are spinning their wheels on the hilly roads with no grit or sand. Normal weather, nice, but it ogt a lot funnier when we watched the news. "No traffic means no shopping" said somebody there. It is supposedly the most important Saturday before Christmas (lots of shopping). Christmas is not about shopping anyway.

Train back was delayed a lot and I had fun in the station waiting, as seen in the video.


And I saw a snow clearing machine! In front of the hospital building!


OK, people cannot go shopping, but we were just discussing how long it will take to go to church tomorrow. I walk fast and walking boots that were good in rainy hills in Scotland and good for climbing on stones in a stream in the rainforest are good in snow too! D walks slower on clear roads, but how long will it take tomorrow if we are walking together? I wish I had the "Finnish sleigh", it would be really fast because there is no grit on the roads. Even a normal sleigh would be good.
