Hi Jerry,

Great news about the book, I'll have to get one ordered via my sister who is stateside for the next few months.

Wendy & Peter - we've more snow today and I've spent an hour this morning contacting 100 people to tell them that choir rehearsal this evening is off (school will be closed). I suppose that gives me another week to try to shake off the chesty cough and snuffles. :-)

It was nice to wake up to the sight of a snow storm on the river - quite eerie too. The ducks seemed reluctant to get their botties wet and were all huddled up on the bank. The water was steel grey - I'm always amazed at its' capacity to change - I've seen it brown, bright blue, sparkling and now dull, steely grey.

I think it's time for another cuppa (and more paracetamol).
