It's snowing again, it's White and never been more beautiful in London. The great thing about the snow is that its so different. I'm not used to it. it reminds me of my childhood - I never touched snow growing up, not until coming to London. Well, maybe I'm still growing up so now I love it.

I'm sitting in my living room, again for the second day because its too god awfully cold out there. Its been snowing and raining and pretty much been very unsociable lately. The good thing about the time indoors is you get some time to yourself. I've been so busy and worked recently(I went on holiday a day after our release was scheduled to go out into the big bad world!), and even now I'm hosting my cousin from South Africa. Recently we went to scotland and I got an outer ear infection, according to my doctor - but there you go, life carries on. I'm recovering nicely and the added benefit of getting sick is that you have to recover and take it easy and so another really good thing about being confined to the house is being able to do things alone(my cousins out and about for the last couple of days) and its amazing how you destress when you've got nothing to do(and because you're ill). Sometimes I think that the just doing things, perhaps being on a schedule can cause you to stress out quite a bit.

Right now I'm watching the world pass by on the busy street outside the house, remembering the cold conditions that were in Scotland and not missing it one bit. Here's to taking things easy.

I stayed in a nice guest house in Edinburgh, and the host's wife was the author of a newly published book called 'the blue suitcase'. Apart from the wonderful hospitality that we encountered - I got a signed copy of the book.
