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!
