Weekly Synopsis - Chapter 9

The "Big Freeze" is taking it's toll throughout most of Europe. I don't think we've had it that bad in England but if you watch the news, you would have seen the chaos it is causing elsewhere. A lot of people are obsessed with snow, I don't care for it much unless I want to ski. When I have to wake up at 6:30am and make my way to work in it, not so much fun!

However, I have to admit it does look pretty, magical and makes for great photos. Here is a picture of the lake near our house, it's half frozen! The ducks actually walk over the icy parts, can you spot the one stepping off the ice and back into the water? Poor little ducks. Do you think they get cold?

After seeing a picture of Arya in Nihrida's weekly summery yesterday, I realised I haven't posted a picture of my little fur ball in a while. Here is Eggbert sitting in one of his favourite places (the corner of the living room cupboard) staring out of the window at the snow:

This week I have been playing Lana Del Rey - Born to Die and Video Games non-stop on my iphone! I think it's getting on Martin's nerves! I have read all the controversy about her being an artificial creation and even The Guardian and Vigilant Citizen articles but I still love her look and her music regardless! If you haven't seen the video for Born to Die yet, here it is:

  1. I would love to experience this season. We only have rain here. Your photo is very inviting.

    1. We always want what we can't have. You want snow and I wish I could live somewhere hot all the time! We get a lot of rain here as well :(

  2. I love snow! Unfortunately this winter we haven't gotten any. When I used to live in the northern part of the US it was guaranteed. I know what you mean though about having to actually go out in it. It's a pain. I still love it though. :) Your photo of the lake is gorgeous and your cat is adorable.

    1. That's always the thing with snow. I do feel like a little kid getting all excited when it does snow but come Monday morning and all my trains are cancelled...not so excited!

  3. =) Don't worry, I read that ducks can't feel the cold with their feet.
    Nice to see Eggbert. He does the same thing as Arya and Aishila. They like
    to look through the window, even when it's dark outside and they can only see
    their reflection. XD

    1. I hope they can't! Imagine swimming in that chilly water? *Brrrr*
      When cats stare through the window, I wonder what they're looking at for so long? Lebowski doesn't really do it, I think he gets bored but Eggbert does it all the time...and he actually concentrates! Lol!! Cats!!!

    1. If I lived in a hot country, I would probably want to see it too!!! But at least you can then go back home to the warmth! As you can probably tell, I can't stand the cold :(

  5. I do like the idea of snow but only because we don't get it, if I had to wake up fight with it to get to work I proabaly wouldn't like it either, that pic is cute the ducks are crazy to be waking on ice, your cats beautiful!

  6. I looooooove the snow! But I admit the travel to work in the snow was a bit annoying last year! We don't have any snow up in Newcastle at the minute ;(

    P.s. Eggbert is so cute! & Video Games<3
