First snows!!!

Hurrah - we did have November snow, so I as very happy - at least for three days. But as you can guess, it all disappeared and now it's just yucky damp and rather cold. But November was so quick anyway that we are now starting to pack up. We've rented out the apartment fro when we leave here and there are a few boxes lying around looking pathetic.

We have discovered that the only place to do self-storage is in Warszawa so we are taking the boxes up there en route to family for Sylwester. We'll need a party after the hassles of deciding what to box, what to post and what to take in a suitcase.

I'm dreading the 'move'. I have now decided that this is positively that LAST time I am involved with boxes at Christmas time. NEVER again. From now on we 'move' after Christmas - preferably mid=year!!!!!

This coming weekend one of my cousins is coming to stay - it'll be great fun as the last tme we saw her was at New Year 2007!!!! As I recall that occasion involved apple juice and vodka and ....well it's all a bit hazy!!!! This is the return match! Better late than never.

The Christmas market is up in the Rynek. I love the atmosphere so much. I really get into the spirit of Christmas just wandering round the stalls and looking at all the lovely things on sale. I'll take my camera down this weekend when Aga is here and take piccies. I must also take pics of trams and strangely mundane things like that. Otherwise no-one at home will believe me when I try to describe what I've seen. It's unfortunate that I have to leave my photo albums here - but at least all the pics are on my laptop! Whew!!!!

OK - so look out for photos of markets etc then nothing till after our holiday in Romania, wioth our old pal, Vlad!
