There have been several snow showers today, culminating in a long one which lasted the whole time I was in the pub with my brother (discussing railways, tunnels, politics & economics, and his work, mainly). We went to the IB, as it's handy, and sat in the window so we couldn't see the big TV with the footy on it. The place was very quiet, but four of the six other people kept breaking into tuneless versions of Mustang Sally. Still, sitting warm at a window with a glass of nut-brown ale watching some of the fattest heaviest snowflakes you've ever seen fall through the sodium light . . .

It's good to be alive.

On the way back, even at midnight the Links were alive with students making snowmen and throwing snowballs at each other.

Dance, boy, down the road . . .

When I got home from work [livejournal.com profile] tylluan_dawel had dropped round. It was lovely to see her (must drop round) and talk about Edinburgh (gorgeousness of), Conan Doyle (nearby residence of), snow (inevitably) and stuff.

As I'm so pleased with the snow, I've put up a few pictures from a recent roll of film here. The snowy ones are from just outside the flat when it snowed about a month ago. The sunset's a day or two later, and the stair's from a visit to a park with Fiona last autumn. There were some with Fiona from then, and some of her, CJ and Simon from Leeds castle, but they all either had odd smirks on their faces or too much grain - I may need to change my film. Ah well. I shouldn't think you were still waiting agog to see them after this time anyway.

But that's roughly what Edinburgh will be looking like around the time you see these, anyway.
