Winter 2010/2011 has started!

Yes! It's been cold for a steady few weeks, but to my standards winter has now really started. I just looked out the window and saw a hare hopping through the snow.

It's not a lot yet, but it's there. And I've got the picture to prove it.

I changed the tyres of my car last week, and am relieved to once again have made it just in time. Last year we had a pretty rough winter up here, which basically started the day after I had my tyres changed. So, Geestman, how're things up in Sweden?

Oh the weather outside is frightful / But the fire is so delightful / And since we've no place to go / Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping / And I've bought some corn for popping / The lights are turned way down low / Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss good night / How I'll hate going out in the storm! / But if you'll really hold me tight / All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying / And, my dear, we're still goodbying / But as long as you love me so / Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
