First Snow

We got our first real dusting of the year last night. The cold grey coffin-lid of winter has officially closed down on Europe, and it looks like we'll be getting plenty of snow this year. And I'm working at home now, tap-tapping away at the keyboard, sleeping at my desk, looking balefully at the phone when it rings, and the rest of the time at the depressing, watery light outside. It makes me wish I had a son to chase around the hedgemaze with an axe.

Oh, and the white trucks are back.
