Day 33

I think I might start at the end of the day today, nothing much happened throughout, but it has been pretty eventful this evening.
Work all day, I left at 3pm though when the snow was getting just a bit too much for my liking. And it was a good thing I did because about half way home the roads were white with snow, not good, I decided that I would pick the kids up early from Kindergarden as there was no way I wanted to go back out into the storm again.
Back home the boys played on the Wii until it was time for "Blue Peter" a great kids TV show, where it is fun but also educational...well, whilst they were watching it, I went in the kitchen to get tea ready...bad idea today. As when I went back in Robert had a look of panic on his face, they were showing surgery in the 1900s and surgery now. Not all gory really. They had a dummy on which they were simulating key-hole surgery. But it all really really upset poor Robert, and he couldn't get to sleep, and I am half expecting him to wake up in the night too...

Well the storm has kept up all evening and one point even managing to blow the window open in the lounge which in turn woke Robert up and frightened him...

Well about 9.30pm the doorbell rang, frightened the life out of me, no one comes around at night time...I peeked through the door and recognised the person stood there, but didn't know where to put him. Once I opened the door, he could see I hadn't got a clue who he was and let me in on the secret, he was our neighbour. Well our poor neighbour had got his car stuck in a snowdrift across the road about 10m from his own driveway, could Florian help him. Well Florian of course is not here, so I bundled up and tried my best. It was not going to move with only me pushing though, I couldn't get a grip on the snow. when he went to see if his Dad was home I took a picture from the door wayOnce back with his Mum we got the snow shovel out and tried moving the snow that way, no luck..luckily the snow-shovelling neighbour was on his way out to shovel more snow (during the snowstorm) and with three of us pushing we finally got the car moving and on to its own driveway! Quite exciting!

And I took some other pictures of the snow too this evening. This is the snowdrift that is forming in front of the lounge patio doors

And this - believe it or not - is actually our terrace, its gone missing! Looks more like we are about to have a "Foam party" there!CU tomorrow, if the snow hasn't frozen my internet, its already stolen my TV and I was looking forward to a new series "Vampire Diaries" - maybe next week!
CU then
