I've had lots of fun with snow in the past week, it was so beautiful! It was also really cold but I survived. The room I live in is quite warm although my housemates keep leaving the bathroom window wide open even though it's snowing and then leave the bathroom door open and then wonder why it's cold!

This week my favourite invention is the phone and also internet sites which let you call long numbers and then get cheap rates to call - this week I have spoken to friends in the Phillipines, South Africa and Benin - very exciting!

I have an orchestra concert tomorrow (Cardiff Symphony - see link) and there are still some parts I can't quite play though I've improved a lot so I need to practise those last few 'corners' tonight ready for the big night tomorrow!

I've had fun making new friends and meeting up with old friends - sometimes it's like the last years never happened and we get along just like before! I'm really enjoying my life at the moment - on Monday night I was glad that I still had 4 days of work left this week - I must be in such a small minority! Doing research about remote controlled planes but on a BIG scale! Very exciting!
