MY WORLD FOR THE MOMENT

Since last week we are sitting in the snow, then it melts, then it snows, etc etc. It's a real boring time. because the streets are slippery and with a few snoflakes the traffic breaks down, people are not used or well equipped for snow in Belgium. It doesn't snow very often and also not each year.



So I was quite surprised when I opened the shutters and looked out of the window !







My street was white !



and also the garden !



The cat statue wore a coat


But then the temperature dropped and it rained




The snow melted







The streets looked ugly and when it froze during the night they were slippery in the morning;
I felt locked in like in Alcatraz ! Each day the same view, sometimes white, sometimes striped,  sometimes with only a little snow ! Very"amusing"



The only one who thought he would enjoy the snow was cat Arthur, until he realized that snow was cold !



Therefore he did what I wish I could do the whole day with this weather, he slept on my warm bed !

WEEKEND REVIEW Jan 14

It snowed the whole weekend. The first day the snow lasted until late afternoon, but then melt, except in the Ardennes.. Very nice for people who love skiing there is more than enough snow !

In the rest of the country there was a big mess, traffic jams and accidents, we are not at all equipped for snow, or maybe we are, but the population reacts like the cartoonist represented so well here :



A snow flake !!!



Each morning I have the same view when I look out of the window. In the aftedrnoon it was almost gone and I went to Ilona who lives about 14 km away and in her area there wasn't any snow at all.
We spent the afternoon together and talked about eventual holidays together;



Sunday it snowed again, but the temperatures are too high so it will certainly melt. With all the salt they had thrown on the streets there is a lot of water and if it will freeze tonight then tomorrow the streets will be slippery !

Instead of going to Nicole we spent an hour on the phone and Mr. G. was wondering about what we could still discuss as we had seen each other shortly.



I worked quite a lot on my computer, observed by Rosie and then watched a bit TV.



Arthur settled down on my lap and "ironed" my legs !
