This is the current satellite view of Southern England and yes it is as cold as it looks! And it’ll get colder over the next week or so. Click on the image above for a view of the whole country.

We missed having a white Christmas day but it’s certainly been cold and snowy right before and after. Still, our girls are thoroughly enjoying the weather and the walk to school takes twice as long, with all the snowball-making and mummy-targetting. Even Gillian’s getting in on the act, bashing me with a few rock-hard balls of solid ice and drifts swept in my face with childish ruses such as, “Oh no! Is that a little dog stuck in that car?” Like I said, childish.

And here she is, the sneaky snowballer in action. Hey, what the hell. Merry New Year everyone!

The bug has caught up with me. You know how it goes, you work incredibly hard before a holiday, shoehorning five or six campaigns before you go on your break. Then the cold that’s been going around the office and at home and you miraculously miss hits you. Bugger.

Anyway, it’s Christmas in Ireland for us this year. We have the joy of flying RyanAir on Monday but I’m sure when we get there everything will be fine. In the words of that great Irish philosopher and national poet, Father Jack:

“Feck!!! Gurrrllls! Drrrriiinkkkk!!!”

Happy Christmas!
