Despite all my requests towards heaven for it not to snow for our BBQ, it did. Saturday it snowed all day! Here is a picture of Paul taking out the rubbish in the snow..JPG)

It is such a tranquil feeling sitting up in your apartment watching snow fall on the world below. Someone called it the 'silent white' and I totally agree. The city is silent - well that is until all the kids run outside for a snow ball fight, or your daughter insists on building a snow man in 2 cm of snow. Snow is so clean and fresh - for about 10 minutes and then someone walks on it or drives on it and then very soon it is just brown slush. Regardless, I do love it when it snows, there is something magical about the whole thing.
Sunday morning dawned nice and sunny and we did
manage to have a BBQ - man it was nice eating meat cooked on the BBQ. Although it felt funny having to wear a tracksuit, gloves, beanie, jacket and all the trimmings to keep warm. Our Australia Day celebrations were topped off with a viewing of "The Castle," munching on Cardbury Dairy Milk and Pascal's Party Mix (thanks Kymmie and Amy!!). Mind you, we needed to have the subtitles on so the Americans could understand it. Nevertheless, it felt good to be an Aussie.I was sent this message by a friend and I thought it was such I nice thing that I wanted to share it with you.
