First snow of the season

With one week to go before Christmas, we've just had our first snowfall. It snowed late last night - not a blizzard, but more a light dusting.

Then this morning between 7 and 10am, it snowed some more, so now everything is a little bit white.

Here's what I saw earlier out of my office window:

I wrapped up warm when leaving the house for work this morning, with a hat, scarf and gloves to keep me from freezing. Unfortunately, I didn't think about footwear and wore my almost grip-less shoes. Not a good idea with lots of slippy snow around. Just about made it to the office without falling flat on my face!

Hoping the snow stops now so I can walk home without looking like Bambi on ice.

The Best Knitting Ever

I saw this on an advertising billboard this morning on my walk to work and was quite taken aback.


It is sheer brilliance - in all the history of knitting, nothing has ever been this cool:

I want one for Christmas! I've already sent it to my sister for her approval as she's a knitter (check out her blog here).

McDonalds - is there any limit to their abilities?
