Snow!

Snow, snow, snow!

Ironically, I did a tour of inspection of my garden yesterday, and all the important things (such as trees and herbs) had buds on. Not sure how long they'll keep them now, but at least I didn't kill anything crucial. There are a load of daffs and miniature irises out, and the crocuses I'd planted in the lawn had come through. Looked lovely :)

Currently spending my lunchtime desparately working on an essay about the Odyssey. Done the first draft of abotu one quarter of it. Hopefully I can get the whole first draft done before the weekend, and can then have fun at the weekend and just spend a couple of hours polishing it up.

The Odyssey is one of the best all-time books ever written, so your essay had best be worth at least three 1st's from the stuffiest shirt at Cambridge! At least the plants in that story don't have to worry about anything as silly as "snow". My own garden has gotten so wind and snow blasted this winter that I can sympathize, but I must protest your country's claim of even having snow to begin with. The UK is reputed for having more rain than exist water molecules in the Pacific, not whiteness! You should be ashamed of yourselves! And no, the fact that snow is rain, merely in a different physical state, is inadmissible because it blows a pomegranate-sized hole in my tangerine-sized theory. :)
