I don't want to go to work tomorrow...

They are predicting snow. Actually, they are predicting flurries off-and-on all week, but somehow I don't think we are going to get more than a dusting. It would be nice to experience a snow day in the UK so that I can compare it to home. Aw! Who am I kidding?! I just like having days off from work!

So, it has been a fairly quiet weekend. I tried to go into London yesterday, but the train lines were down. I could have taken a bus, but instead I just hopped a bus to Bluewater. I was in search of shoes, but decided to hold out for the open-toed variety (once the weather gets nicer). Winter should end eventually, right? I did notice Friday that it is staying light out much later in the evening, like 5:30...

We had English Pancakes for dinner this evening and boy were they delicious!! They were thin, like a French crepe and you roll them up with toppings inside. I ate mine with some sprinkled sugar and some lemon juice, a "very English" style I was told. They were lovely!!

I've been reading in the news that Israel is pulling out of the Gaza Strip. I know there is a lot involved and the Palestinians are not entirely happy with the way Sharon is moving ahead without a proper peace accord, but this is big folks!! Who knows?! Call me an optimist, but we may actually see peace in the Middle East (and a Palestinian State) during our lifetime!!
