THE LONG (SLIPPERY) WAY HOME

I really like snow, but in London it always seems to be a problem... As usual no transports up to Crouch End and my only way home tonight was on foot.
Not too bad... good aerobic exercise and it gave me a chance to take some pictures :)

Finally home!

FUN IN ALEXANDRA PALACE

In spite of the weather, I ventured out in search of a slope to sleigh and to take "my own" pictures. I walked up to Alexandra Palace.

I bought some heavy-duty gardening refuse bags!

I envied all the kids...

Who needs the Alps?!

LOTS OF SNOW!!!

This is Crouch End, as I woke up this morning. The buses aren't working, so I cannot get into work today. Hooray!

To tell the truth, I am warm in my bed, watching the snow falling from my window. Odhran took these pictures early this morning and sent them to me. Hi, hi! I am a cheat!

MORE SNOW AND CHINESE NY

This is Crouch End, half an hour ago.

Dinner in town with MJ and Klaus. Freezing!!!

My ham and cheese bake was...

... a success!

Beef and mushroom spicy stew with mash. Absolute comfort!

This is the year of the Ox.

鱼生 (Yusheng), chinese raw fish salad. Special dish for New Year, very popular in Singapore. Everyone has to join in mixing the salad with chopsticks. Apparently the higher you toss, the greater your fortunes. I made sure to go very high! You also have to say something while tossing, but Tommy didn't instruct me properly, haha!

Nina is 4 now!

This is her present: Jiji, from Kiki Delivery Service. Cute! I wish I could have kept him...

By the way, the flowers turned out to be pink :)
