Another Result of Global Warming

We were told it never snows in southern England. It gets cold and rainy, sometimes windy, but rarely freezes. So I blame this on that moron AlGore and his stupid global warming campaign. It's been snowing all day in London! And, in case no one noticed the date of this post, it's APRIL! Pics below from our yard (double click on any of them to see them larger).



If you can see in these photos, the flowers blooming in the snow.



OK, so our friends the Riders left this weekend. It was a bit emotional because, as I mentioned earlier, they are kind of our only friends here. On the up side, we loaded up with their stuff! I posted earlier that I've been here the whole time without TV, now we have TV. It was an interesting experience hooking the parts up, only to eventually find we didn't have the right cables. Diana took the lead and we finally got it together. We need to get a TV stand for everything, but now we have TV.



Of course, the biggest downside to this is we now have 4 remote controls. I'm just waiting for the business trip when I get the call that none of them work :)



So now we have the BBC (which I payed 135 GBP, or about $270, for a TV license to support). We have a digital box that gets us about 25 or 30 channels via an antenna (an aerial here), but we have news, some weather, and some shows. I'm starting to miss the music playing all the time already.....
