Snow and there's no denying it, winked the surgeon

Well it happened. Today it has snowed. There has been so much of the fluffy white stuff no trains or buses were running in London this morning. With a few just starting up later in the day. I took the day off and enjoyed the company of little Monster Boy who was very happy. The snow is like a key to happiness for children. They can't help themselves, they have to go out in it. Play snowballs and make snow men or snow women. Seeing those big flakes fall out of the sky is a amazing to watch. Everything is coated in it. There must of been about 8 to 12 inches of the stuff. And we were told more is on the way this evening. I have a sneaky feeling though the melting has began and it will be a lot easier travelling tomorrow than it has been today. It's sad but there is too much of a good thing.

Sparkling Eyes is having a minor operation on a spot near her eye. It's been there for some time but has grown slightly. She saw the doctor and decided it was about time it went. Because it is close to the eye a plastic surgeon will be doing the procedure. I said it would be a shame to see it go and called it Fred. She said she didn't want to have the operation because it was close to her eye. My reply is there will be nothing to worry about as it will only be a local anesthetic. She'd prefer a general. The scheduled time of operation was 6 p.m., but it's been snowing even in Scotland so I expect there could be a delay and sit waiting for any news. I've now heard all is fine, and couldn't finish the paragraph till the message came. I'm sure Sparkling will have a swollen face in the morning and possibly even a black eye. It's always good to hear it's all over with when it comes to things like this. Even minor ones. Mind I wonder if she will be wearing an eye patch, and if Fred is being bought back in a bottle of formaldehyde. Hmmm perhaps she'd be up for a Long John Sparkling routine at the next time I see her lol.
