White post-Christmas

It started snowing in London early this morning, before 4am some time to be slightly more accurate. I know this because a few of the uninitiated Aussies i’m staying with were running around in excitement and taking photos at that time. And they woke me up, bastards. Not heavy snow yet, but its enough for the street cleaners to have to start spreading the grit salt to stop everyone from slipping over - unfortunately I wore my least grippy shoes and was too early for the grit salt going to work this morning and thus did quite a few of the ’slip over but regain composure just before you hit the ground and then look around embarrisingly for witnesses’ manouevers.

It’s really beautiful near where i’m living though, all of the huge barren tree branches are now covered in a coat of snow and I ran into a few snow fights between all the primary school kids - i resisted the temptation to get involved (OK i might have thrown a couple of bombs).

Here’s some shots from work:

I do not work in a jail

We won’t be having an outside lunch today

In other exciting work-related news, my office roomie Julian and I have been busy redecorating our office. Ok, we’ve done a lot more planning than actual implementation but let me throw some ideas at you to make you envious: Single wall painted in blackboard paint, astro-turf carpet, bean bags, jungle scene painted on another wall, sub-woofer, picnic rug and finally garden gnomes. That is all.

All of our office workmate’s have been putting their height and age up on our wall (I feel old and short)
