It’s been snowing a lot here. Right now they’re big fat fluffy snowglobe flakes, so pretty falling down and glittering under the streetlights. It looks fake on the ground though. I could just sweep it away like so much light chaff in the cool wind.

Bought a glass ornament. A big round clear ball with a slightly iridescent rainbow sheen and all these fillaments within that catch the light. Dunno why, just fancied it. I don’t have a lot of globe-shaped ornaments.Well, it’s a pretty bauble anyway.

Found a great website that plays random mixes of music-always nice to expand those musical horizons.

I’m trying to be social but sometimes my heart’s just not in it. I could blame the deep dark winter, everyone waiting for the sun to come back and warm the earth again, everyone lost in their own busy bubbles, Christmas shopping and stocking up nosh for the friends and families to share. Last year I was on a beach with Devon and now we’re back in the snow, with spinning tires and frozen windshield wipers. But, I think I missed the snow anyway.

There’s a house down the street which is totally gaudy with xmas lights.  Their trees are cluttered with cardboard xmas “presents” and there’s a light scene on the roof-Santa with sleigh and reindeer; there’s an archway covered in fake holly and more lights, lights along the fence, a blow up Elmo in an xmas hat, lights lights everywhere, EVERYWHERE!!!  …and as you walk past you hear faint-but distinct carols, the icing on the cake.  Too sweet for me!
