Schnee

Hello dear ones :)

If you're looking for some audible deliciousness then I recommend listening to a beautiful soundtrack (or anything really, it mixes surprisingly well) and this <3 

I've currently got the Lord of the rings soundtrack on, and "concerning hobbits" has been given a whole new feel by the beautiful sound of the rain. 

I finally have a day off now after all that overtime. I suppose I shouldn't be taking on too much extra work seeing how uni is looming over me and I have another 14 extra side courses I should be looking into. Yes 14. I got a package deal on a voucher website, £20 for 10 languages instead of £300. A wonderful deal, however incredibly ambitious. 1 language (Polish) is split into 4 courses as I'm attempting to take that into slightly further detail.

Honestly the main reason I try to take so much overtime is because we're still setting up really. When Jamie moved into this house, he moved here alone. I remember the house as I visited just after he'd moved in, he had clothes, a bed, a fridge. Mostly necessities, he was lucky enough to have a TV and a few old games consoles but that was really it. Whilst we have been together we have been piecing the house together with sheets and curtains (he had boxes against the windows at first!) and furniture. Everything is very expensive nowadays, everyone is lucky just to have rent money right now, but everything will get better over time. We saved up and now we even have special things like an aquarium and a cross trainer and a blender! (Indeed my blender is very special to me <3 How else would I find out if stuff blends?)


As everything is still beautiful and snowy I decided to have a little walk. It is surprising how slow everything moves in just a few centimeters of it. Although I have to say I did feel quite bad for the little old lady who runs the fruit and veg market, the awning on her shop didn't stretch quite far enough and she kept having to run out and brush the snow off her produce.





That actually wasn't the only strange thing I saw trapped in snow and ice:




Know what that is?

Sweetcorn!

Somebody must have gone fishing and not had much luck.

These were some others I took throughout the day:


Please excuse the uselessness of my photo editing, I take all of my photos on a camera phone which unfortunately does not have the best of cameras on it. Plus I use an automatic editing website as I have absolutely zero photography skills, this is something I intend to work on this year!

It is strange to think that somewhere around the world, all this snow is just everyday weather. Here we get a lot of rain but snow is rarer, although it seems to be becoming increasingly more likely as each year goes by.

Anyway, tidying now must happen!

Cheerio :)
