Snow Day

The most snow we've had in 18 years apparently. The south east of England is currently being hit by snow - the trains were cancelled, buses stopped in London and the major, Boris Johnson cancelled the congestion charge for the day.
My kids stayed home and we had a snow day - I had to cancel my class this afternoon because the weather was closing in again, in fact it's snowing now as I write this. We went walking with P in the woods and it looked like Narnia. I love the way the entire countryside becomes silent when it snows as if it's taking a pause, waiting for something to happen.
That's how today has felt - like a pause in between the weekend and the week proper starting. Certainly my week now feels fractured - I didn't teach my class, a meal we had planned with friends in London tomorrow night looks very doubtful, my yoga class was cancelled and my pilates class tomorrow is not looking good.

With a mention of both yoga and pilates I do realise that sounds as if I've somehow become a WAG (a footballers' Wives And Girlfriends - you know the type - they look very groomed and have perfect figures, perma-tan, plenty of bling but often no brain) but after a mountain bike accident back in June 2008 and a couple of climbing falls in September 2008 my back needs some work.

This post feels sort of aimless, it's wandering about and not really doing anything of use.

Rather like me today. I'm taking my silent pause and waiting for real life to happen tomorrow.
