Lewis is 3 today

Silver surfer

At work today, a gentleman came up asking if I could help him. He gestured at my computer and said that he also has one at home but he couldn't figure out how to turn it on. His CPU seems to be working but he couldn't see anything on the screen. I asked him if he has plugged on his monitor and I showed him where the wire should likely come from.

After a few minutes of discussion and demonstration, he said that he tried turning on his computer this morning but he was so scared to do it. I asked him what he did then. He said, 'well, I opened all the windows before I turned on the computer.' I asked, 'what do you mean?' He explained, 'well, I was worried that the computer would explode if I turned it on that I opened the windows so I could just throw it out!'

Photos of fun time in snow

Most schools were closed today due to icy roads. And so fun for the kids began!

This time, I had to learn to let go of my 2-year-old Lewbee... on a sledge.

So bravely on his own...

And they both did it together, too.

Wheeee!

Whoopssy!

Fun time is tiring, too. So they had to be pulled back home.

Here's Zak sharing with the heavy load!

More photos here.

For the first time in several years, Britain is snowed in! Although it's not as thick as to warrant wearing wellingtons, we took to the road our sledge with high hopes and a dash of excitement. We've been out throughout the day and finally, the snowman managed to take shape before dark.

I might stay up til midnight to see the 6 cm snow the BBC promised!
