Snow. I looked out the window this morning and saw snow. So I rubbed my eyes, not quite believing what I was seeing. Thinking maybe, just maybe, it was pollen. But it was oh so terribly  true. Snow. It’s May 3rd. Let’s just say that I am not happy Stockholm.

I was already feeling sorry for myself anyway. Robert is in New York City on business. And I really, really, really wanted to go with him. It’s been sooooo long since I’ve been to NYC. I wanted to see the city, see my cousin and friends, shop, eat. And just be in the US. But the timing wasn’t right. We’ve had some great trips this year and more are to come. So I stayed home to work. And now I’m pouting. Whining, actually.

Oh heavens!

We had a sharp frost here last night, in my area of the UK, down to 1.5C. Some of my plants are looking none too happy. I think I would cry if it snowed!

Jane,
Thanks for the sympathy! If I wasn’t so shocked, I think I would have cried. My friends here were all equally surprised/annoyed!

I’m so sad that you couldn’t go to NYC.
And the snow, adding insult to injury – not nice.
Does it help that it’s 2 C today and raining? No, it doesn’t help me either – this is bad.

Nooo! If it’s any consolation, and it probably isn’t, we’re on our ten thousandth day of rain, and it’s bitterly cold. May 4 — hello??!?

Oh, that also sucks Bryn! And I guess it really does have to get better for all of us, right?

Thanks for the sympathy Marilyn! At least it’s not snowing today!
