“so comes snow after fire, and even dragons have their ending.”

it is official - this country definitely does not know how to cope with snow! when i was in new york there was much much more and within a day pretty much all of it had been ploughed or physically removed from mManhattan - it would appear new york is a whole world away from the dismal grey horizon that croydon promises for ever more.

from previous blog entries a while ago you will know that i am definitely not an advocate of snow - however when it guarantees the opportunity of missing school legally i'm all up for it. with the announcement of yesterdays snow day i planned on spending the vast majority of the day in bed with atonement but that didn't happen as i found myself trekking towards the 403 to get to warlingham to see dan and meet a couple of her caterham friends which was good. gutted that the chippy was shut on the way home but it definitely wasn't the end of the world!

today is another snow day, unfortunately no lie in however as i had to wake myself up at six forty five to check the school website to see whether it was going to open or remain shut. forty five minutes later when they eventually announced that school would stay shut i was slightly miffed i could have stayed in bed all that time, but wasn't too disheartened as all i had to do was crawl back into bed for another three hours.

and now i find myself here, putting off my 'snow work' my school has lovingly set me.
but i've wasted enough time for today, so i'd better get on with it.

within the next couple of weeks i plan on beginning to save up to fund my own trip to nyc.
