brr...

too cold to go far today, so a very familiar view - but it's got snow and a wintry sunset thing going on for a change.

getting organised to head off to my parents' place for a bit over xmas - packing is such a chore! this is always the point when i think 'i wish i could drive, and just chuck stuff in the car instead of having to pack like a military operation to take it on the train'. not that i'd be driving down to northumberland in this weather at this time of night... but after 10pm it can snow as much as it damn well likes, i'm happy to get stuck down there and not get back to work at new year :-)

i may not see y'all til new year, so have a good xmas!
