That's the total amount of time I spent in class this week.
Looking untypically awake before 9am...
...braving THIS kindda weather to trot to class.
Where's the path?!!
------------------------------It's been 4 days of on-off snow now.
Pristine white snow by the river
Check out the practically HORIZONTAL snow?
THAT'S windy...
We're all pleased though.
The snow we got in December was most unsatisfactory.
This is real snow...
It's like Christmas again!
Stephanie decided to conduct an outdoor class.
"How to make a snow angel"
First, find a spot of fresh snow...
Untouched, un-stepped, un-sledged, un-whatever.
Then lie down carefully without making a mess...
Next, wave your arms and legs like a maniac
to give your angel its "wings" and "dress"
At this stage, it's normal to look like a stranded starfish.
*Oh yah, if you're wondering why there's a death-like shadow over Steph, that's ME taking the photo.
Haha... Steph's great idea of: Let's do it in the sun!*
Finally, get up really carefully...
Snow angel!
We also attempted to make a snowman...
Elli and I rolling snowballs.
It would have been quite a successful snowman too!
But...
Ok, I admit my fault.
I added un-snowman-like ears to our "snowman"
Muahahahahahaha....
End product?
Some snowcat/snowbear looking thing.
The eyes were the chocolate ingots I got for Chinese New Year.
The nose and accessories were dried roses left over from Valentine's Day.
See the rose petals all over the ground?
All nice and romantic...
Close-up of our snowcat/bear.
Scotland's version of "Hello Kitty"
Eh, look like the fa-cai cat also right?
To reward ourselves for being so creatively brilliant,
we decided to roll down the hill...
Truth was: we couldn't be bothered with a sledge.
Steph and I: pre-roll
Elli: The shadow that's taking the photo
Couldn't resist throwing snowballs at each other.
Ah, yes, we're 7 years old.
Me: Rolling-in-Progress
Steph and Elli: Rolling-in-Progress
Elli: Post-roll
Steph: Post-roll
Ok, enough fun for the day.
Time to get back inside.
Stephanie claims she didn't dust off properly and brought bits of snow in with her.
Naaahh....
I think she's got a major dandruff problem.
A nice cuppa tea with biscuits after a hot shower!

haha..your snowman look quite like mickey mouse!!! But cute =)
Is it realli cold?? So sad that I haven't seen such thick snow b4 =( Snow is romantic!!!
It's not really cold actually.. although it looks freezing. But apparently, if it's too cold, there's no snow, everything just freezes.
Yeah, absolutely romantic.. Errmm, if there's someone to be romantic with, of course :P
