Realising that snow, which he had never seen before, was only frozen water.

SNOW!!! this morning. Just one or two flakes, so maybe just snow!!!

I had Wednesday and Thursday off work ill. redcountess has also been sick as a sick thing (though getting better) — there seem to be three nasty colds going around and Liz has at least two of them. arkady has a bastard earache from Hell; attending Deathboy this evening will depend on whether her ear is up to loud noise in a smoky Water Rats.

We gave notice on the flat yesterday. Faced with losing non-pikdownmarket tenants who pay rent on time and don't trash the flat, the agent changed his tune from last August and said a month's extension would be just fine. Which means (if my bastard leave gets approved before the actual leaving date) we get back from Australia and have two weeks to find a house and move. I suspect we'll be asking for a second month.

We (or whatever subset of "we") do appear set for Rathaus tomorrow. I won't have my shiny shoes, but I'll be doing my best otherwise.
