It's Ccccccold!

My friends in California will call me and say that it's a chilly 70F (21C) this time of year and that it was so cold they had to put on a sweater. Well after a few weeks of lovely autumn weather (crisp and dry, but not cold) in October, winter has descended upon London. During my commute home last night I was treated to a torrential downpour that was followed by sleet and finally by snow. The headlines today read "Snow fell in London last night for the first time in October since 1934." I feel sorry for the poor trick-or-treaters this Friday,especially the naughty nurses and French maids.

This morning I headed out to my car to find this:


And the dashboard read an outside temperate of:


That's 32.9F! I'm going back under the covers.

yes, i did see that she's pregnant. i'm very curious to see what will arrive however months from now. strange the way things turn out.

pregnancy seems to be in the water or something these days. luckily my sister and i apparently do not share that gene.
