Winter walks.

I awoke this morning at 8am. Joe had already left early for work and I was all alone.
I climbed onto the chair in the window and looked out and the world was covered in snow! It was a veritable blizzard! I was super excited but also a little sad. My brother and two youngest nephews were going to come over and play but I didn't want my brother driving in his silly James Bond car so text to cancel! (good job because he said it took him an hour to do the usually 20 minutes school run for my older nephew!)
So, with my day of playing canceled and Joe not here to play either I decided to go for a walk. Sadly by the time I was ready it was now longer snowing but the paths were a crunchy snowy delight to walk on!
I dressed up at snuggly as I could and set off on my journey. I walked through General Cemetery, one of my most favourite places to go in Sheffield. It was beautiful. I walked right up to the mausoleum and looked at all the huge monuments all covered in snow. I did the splits too walking down the hill! Luckily I didn't fully fall over and there was no one to see me!
I think my poor old legs were the coldest they have ever been!
I had a coffee and did a spot of Christmas shopping but the charity shops were rather fruitless today. I only got a little pot cat for 25p.
Now I'm trying to be warm in my house but it's not going so great!

Smile! It's only snow!

The magic of snow.

I'm pretty devastated that there has been no snow in the night! The naughty BBC told me it would snow aaaaaaallllllll night long and I was hoping to go for a nice walk in it but its just the frozen icy leftovers of yesterday!
Speaking of icy leftovers my neighbours woke me up at 7am by rolling their babies pram backwards and forwards over crunchy ice! Thanks guys! NOT!
I did get soem stuff done though such as writing out my Christmas Cards! Now I feel super duper organised!

Comfort Food.


My friend came for tea last night and I made homemade Homity Pie.
Without tooting my own horn it was really tasty! Perfect comfort food for snow warnings and cold cold nights!
We put the heating on, ate lots of chocolates, drank hot chocolate with a smidge of Baileys and watch Toy Story 3 followed by UP..... Earlier that day I wrapped my Mum's Christmas presents and packed her parcel to send over to Australia.... I think I just had my first Christmassy time!

Come On Snow!

Come On Snow! Come On Snow! Come On Snow!
They (those weather people) keep saying snow snow snow but WHERE IS IT!?
There was the smallest smidgen last night but not nearly enough!
I WANT SNOW!

Spleen.

So angry.
So very very angry.
So angry I feel like my blood is boiling, my chest is shrinking and my head is going to blow up and my brain will fly everywhere and be like the inside of a pumpkin.
Just being near people today was a mission. Answering their stupid questions and listening to crap I don't care about and their tedious lives.
On and on and on and on.
I'd love to just scream in their faces SHUT UP! NO ONE CARES! LEAVE ME ALONE!

Bridezilla....

Today I've been emailing places about post wedding meals. I just want to get it all booked so I cn focus on fun stuff and starving myself and getting a face transplant so I can look like this lady.

Look at this face.

It needs more vegetables in its life.
Under the harsh shop lights where I work it is dry and blotchy and spotty and plain gross. Even lovely LUSH face masks have not helped.
Today I got my 5 a day.... bring on tomorrow!

Growing Up.

Wow! I just realised that we are growing up! I just spoke to my lovely Mum on the phone, all teh way from Australia, and we were talking about the wedding. How grown up.
My friends are getting married, having babies (and cats)... it's crazy. It doesn't seem two minutes since we were drinking £1 pints of Fosters and dodging lectures. Now we're slaves to the working world and doing things like getting married.
This lovely pair are my inspiration for Joe and I.

I Love Being Veggie!

I had a horrid dream last night that I was eating meat! It was gross! It was a sausage but it had all grisly nuggets in it. Bleugh! I hated it! It makes me want to go to Heeley City Farm (again!!!! It's my most favourite place!) and et their tasty vegetarian food! This tasty treat was broccolli cheese.
