SNOW!!!

Yes, as you may have guessed from the title, it's been snowing here! Yesterday a couple of cm settled, but most was melted by the end of the day, a bit more fell overnight and it's just started snowing again. The news had stories of 30cm in a few hours in parts of Germany, so we got off pretty lightly here. I was going to go to Berlin and see a couple of museums today, but inside seems much more comfortable and warm at the moment. My flatmates don't seem to have the same opinions on snow as me - they are planning on going jogging this afternoon... Snow is better than rain, they say, and I guess they have a point. They did point out that if I don't go outside in the snow, I may get in trouble with my boss over winter.

In other news, I made a pavlova yesterday. I blame the gas oven (all the number have come off the knobs), so it definitely wasn't the prettiest pav ever made. I just filled in the holes with whipped cream, so my flatmates didn't know any better and were suitably impressed. Katharina complained that there were no strawberries on top, like there were in the picture with the recipe, and the kiwifruit actually came from Italy.  I didn't manage to get a picture before the vultures, I mean flatmates, descended on it, so you'll have to be happy with photographic evidence of the remains.

Thanks for reading, and writing, I love hearing about what's up back home.
