It’s turned out to be a very cold, icy winter with lots of snow. Rocked up at the station as usual to get to work, but not a train was running in either direction.

Snow completely killed the transport network so I crunched back home in the falling snow to w[sh]irk from home. unbelieveable.

• stuck in the office working my inbox when I want to be outside in the sun… bah! #

• watching live webcast of g20 reception at Buckingham Palace. amazing how normal they all seem just stading in a room chatting #
• what a lot of hands the Queen has to shake… Obama greets the arab leaders with salaam ale-kum, v impressive. so un-Bush #
• Lokks like the individual embassies were responsible for booking the limos. I’m sure the Korean leader has just pulled up in a hearse… #
• fascinating behind the scenes footage on G20 webcast. Obamas sweep into the palace in ‘the beast’. then get crammed into a tiny palace lift. #

• eating fish and chip flavoured crisps. surprising ly tasty. #
• don’t drink on a school night. I really should know this by now… #

• there’s a mouse in my house. eeeek! Tiny little critter darting around the room. trap set. #
