It snowed!!

And the whole of London grinds to a halt.

But isn’t it pretty? First real snowfall I’ve seen in…well, let’s say a while.

Yes, we got 4 inches of snow, and it’s pretty much gone now. I didn’t get in to work because of the trains being knackered, but because the system I work with is online, I was able to just work from home. Paul was the same. Surprisingly, I got quite a bit done. I wouldn’t have thought it would work out so well, but it did. The snow was awfully pretty, though. And it was so nice not having to fight the train crowd this morning. They aren’t the most pleasant bunch in the world.

Weather, blech

Rubbish weather this weekend, but we’re having a good time out and about anyway. Went to the theater again and had a nice night out.
The weather here! Crazy. It’s August, and I’ve got my jeans back on, with a long sleeve shirt, and it’s raining dreary cold rain. The kind of rain that gets you wet, no matter if you have an umbrella. Yuck. Could do without it. It just means that fall is pretty much here. And summer was so very short.

Oh well, we haven’t let it get to us. We went out today to a matinee show. Got a good deal – two for one on top seats – can’t beat it, really. The Woman in Black and had dinner at Los Locos.

The Woman in Black was pretty cool. Paul got the biggest kick out of some guy in the audience being scared out of his wits. I guess the sounds effects from the audience was the best thing in the performance for him. It was a good show, performed by two people and a spector only, it was kind of spooky – some startling moments. I know Paul and I both jumped at least once each, okay, maybe twice. Anyway, it was pretty good and we both really enjoyed it.

Los Locos was pretty sweet as well. Don’t get much TexMex here, so it was a nice treat for me. Probably the first good margarita I’ve had probably since leaving the states – not counting something I’ve made myself. Definitely better than the Texas Embassy. We’ll be going back again, especially as we got a two for one deal on the meals and it’s a regular deal. Cheapest dinner out we’ve had since going to Wagamama’s my last day working in town!

Tomorrow we get to clean and relax. I also may try to get some photos of the infamous dining room table up on the site as well. I’m sure you’ll all enjoy that!
