Help!

The stuff coming out of the sky has turned all liquid. Is there anything I can do?

I love snow, not least because it makes everything brighter and lighter. I do not love rain.

+ helped [livejournal.com profile] woolymonkey and family tidy up their drinks cupboard last night
+ Went for a run just now in the snow (GPS didn't kick in until halfway through first circuit)
+ have written what seems to be my most successful fanfic ever
+ all festive stuff under control
+ sister only sent my cat a present, not me (previous years have brought Unique and Special Gifts such as the bronze fairy, the cat-picture made of real fur, and clothes 2 sizes too big)
+ off to Blue for Scientifick Experimentation with cider (and A & C), later
+ then to Croydon for [livejournal.com profile] fishlifters tomorrow
+ thence to deepest Kent for festivities with [livejournal.com profile] ladymoonray and [livejournal.com profile] swisstone and their mothers.
+ duck in the fridge, ditto port and cranberry sauce
+ three pretty Christmas trees in house
+ the days are getting longer
+ it's snowing again, yay!
+ HOT BATH NOW (running is hard in cold weather, I am feeling the pain)
