Drift

Buon pomeriggio,

Today it snowed. Heavier than ever before. But it was... angellic. I seemed to drift off at every and any given moment - helplessly - hopelessly. The only reality being the people around me, the clouds above me, and the ground beneath me. Though if you'd asked, I'd've probably not noticed it was all there. I seemed to hover about, music playing in my mind, and a story slowly unravelling like a flowing robe of red silk. I have to write a story in English, yet I only have two days, today being the first. Turns out in yesterday's Maths test I came third over all, and was the first girl by miles. That's, well, pleasant... I suppose. Mother would not let me go out for a walk in the heavy snow. I guess that'd be fair, except it's me. The girl who loves the cold waits for snow for years on end and when it comes? She cannot go outside. Yet life goes on. I think.

Snow!

Hey,

The snow has arrived! I mentioned snow and hail in the previous item but I had no idea that it was going to be a long-term thing (long-term as in a day).

Sadly I had to go to school and missed out on such childhood past-times as sledging, snowball-throwing and building a snowman to which I would donate all my hats, gloves and scarves. A shame, too, as I coud have spent the day taking some simply excellent photos. But no, I had to go to school. It snowed, rained and hailed almost all day but because of a really lame thing call 'Health & Safety' we could not go outside.

By the time I got home from school (slightly damp from a few snowballs - or should I say slushballs) it was 4 o'clock, the snow was melting, it was getting dark and raining heavily. But to no avail, I grabbed my phone and umberella, and set out on a half-hour walk aroud the park - to try and catch the last of the snow on camera. I will do the same thing tomorrow - promising it snows. Though maybe I shall take my bike so I can get down to the beach. The park was completely empty, except for a small family of ducks and a rather large crowd of muddy geese (some of them were actually half-duck, half-goose - if that's possible). My umberella was rather useless (It was from New Look) and it kept turning itself inside out against the strong winds. Everytime I put it right again I got yet another hole in my mittens. But I wandered around the park in search of some decent photos, most of which were blurry as there was rain on the screen and I was also fighting in a never-ending battle with my umberella. After 20 minutes I retreated, and went home for tea. I have posted up the better few of my photos at the end of the post. I have also added a photo of Toffee in the snow from last November.

Enjoy the snow (if you have any),
