Water update...

We have water back!  Granted it is a mucky brown colour, but that should be sorted by morning =]

In response to Dad...

I know, who would have thought!  Cumbria with no water!!!  It's a burst water main on Victoria place so the water is there, they just can't get it to us yet.  Went on a small trip to Morrisons to buy bottled water so I could have tea, and even they had sold out, just flavored stuff left!  I did manage to find a vending machine with bottled water so managed to purchase enough water to make 1 cuppa at least.  Order is restored momentarily.

Water!

I got woken up this morning by estates running round halls shouting.  Apparently the whole of Cumbria has no water!  I want a cup of tea and a shower, but apparently this is too much to ask for at least the next two hours!

Poshest train ever!

I am on a National Express East Coast train with free wi-fi and at seat dining (not that i'll be using that)!  It's so fun, except the guy opposite me keeps looking at me as if I don't belong here, which is a bit harsh, but hey, I don't care.  I'm in first class!

Excitement...

I got a call from Em just over an hour go saying that her, Rob and the boys are on their way up to see me - I am so excited that they will get to see Carlisle.  I've been looking forward to this weekend for ages.  Safe trip guys, see you soon. =]

Library

Why do they seem to have a copy of every journal, book, magazine etc etc from the last hundred years, but not a copy of French Vogue from some point in 1939???  How rude!

Where's my snow?

Apparently my old school in lincolnshire is closed today because of the snow, but mine up here has all gone.  How disappointing.  Snowball fights are being arranged all over the place, I wanna go =[  Oh well, build some good snow men and women folks =]

Snow =]


So, these are a coouple of pictures of the snow in Carlisle - we got up to about 3 or 4 inches in places, it is SO pretty.  The first picture is looking out of our kitchen window and the second is Hayley, Greg and Lea when we were walking into town to go to Tullie House for a briefing and look around this afternoon.  I love the snow, it makes everything so much more peaceful =D 

Uni shut at 2, which didn't really make any difference to me because I wasn't in anyways, but still, exciting times!

SNOW!!!

We totally have a couple of inches of snow!  How exciting is that, off to play now but will post pictures later! =D
