SCHNEE

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? In the lane, snow is glistening, a beautiful sight, we're happy tonight, walking in a winter wonderland.

Well, there may not be any sleigh bells, but there sure is snow! It's so very exciting! And although it still doesn't feel like Christmas, it does feel like I'm in European winter. I know that that may sound ridiculous, because it's been winter for twenty days now, and cold for a lot more than that, but it's only been rainy and gloomy. It's rainy (well, occasionally..) and gloomy in Adelaide in winter too, and because I'm so used to living here, it just hasn't felt... different.


But since I woke up this morning and it was SNOWING, it's felt as though it's actually winter. And it feels different again, and not exactly what I'm used to. Hooray!

Why are pine cones being sold at the supermarket? Just...why?

Thanks, Qantas. It means so much to me that you made me a personalised e-card! So thoughtful.
