Earlybird pointed me in the direction of different types of snow and I have extended my earlier poem as a result:
Snow Lesson
Eat yellow
snow at
your peril.
Graupel melts
something awful.
Snirt will
make your
insides hurt.
It’s not coming home; it’s not coming home: football’s not coming home.
Gloom in the room when Russia won the right to host the 2018 World Cup; and mortification at what can only be described as a rout: two votes, and one of those was ours.
I baked a couple of cakes the other day. I only mention it because they were surprisingly edible, if you don’t mind the aftertaste.
I spent yesterday doing the dreaded housework; I had no choice: Tory Boy is coming home this weekend. It took me four hours to find his bed under the junk I had stored on it; then I had to put it all in Spud’s room. On Monday I’ll have to move it all back again. Why o why did I have children?

There’s a new poem on my other blog. It’s only two lines so why don’t you take a peek?
I like ‘snirt will make your insides hurt’ but although I understand that the housework must have warmed you up and there’s something to do with football which has upset you, I hate reading in red
Sorry about that! I was alternating red and green fonts to maintain the festive mood, but I’ll stick with the green to help your poor old eyes. I seem to remember similar complaints last year so it must bother quite a few people.
Please, Tilly, what is snirt – apart from a gorgeous word, that is. Come to think of it, I haven’t a clue what glaupel is either.
Like your pics.

And please may I have a bit of your cake?
Yes, but you’ll need something strong to wash it down with.
Dirt-covered snow.
Graupel are snow pellets; so fragile that they melt at a touch.
Earlybird pointed me in the direction of Wikipedia and these wonderful words that I just had to use.
I still do not understand why they selected Russia for the World Cup…oh well another one I won’t get to see first hand. ;-(
Never mind – there’s the Olympics next year in the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee year.
this is just a lovely feel of the season.
i really wish i can sense the greatness of snow.
Where are you?
Isn’t it great to have children so you have even more to blog about?
Ah! The silver lining
