There's no business like snow business 



It's come at last!



That picture was taken from our balcony at just after midnight. I was doing a happy dance in the background, while my unhappy Swede was muttering "bugger! bugger! bugger!".

There is nothing I love better than looking out onto a snowy landscape - everything blanketed in white, soft powder. Maybe it's still exotic for me after having only rain and puddles as a winter landscape for so many years. And I love being outside, too. As long as I am warmly wrapped up, I really enjoy the crisp air and the wonderful muffled silence of the landscape. It's so beautiful.

However, this is not the nice freezing crisp snow that I love. The temperature is hovering around 0C, so the snow is soft and slushy even though it's been snowing like crazy all day. We also have powerful winds that are forcing the snow in horizontally against the window. So it's nicer to be indoors.

A friend in Egypt sent me this link for a great timewaster - it's called Artpad and you can paint your own painting. It was such a lot of fun that I had to share it - check out my Marie, Lars-Göran and Lambi effort. What do you think? Should I enter it for the Archibald Prize?

Well, I'm in a baking mood and I just might try out a new cardamom coffee cake recipe that I've been sent. I love the smell of baking on a winter's day.

Stay warm wherever you are.
