franceslievensP. was supposed to spend the Christmas holidays with us. He was supposed to come home yesterday, but because of the snow and the cold the Eurostar trains didn't ride this weekend. P. spent a day in London trying to figure out whether he'd be able to get on a train or not. When they finally decided to start running trains again, it ended up being false hope. So he trotted off to Oxford again to find another means of transportation to get home.
I was angry and crushed. There's snow on the ground. Going out with Little Bit is an adventure in itself. So today we stayed in. We both have got a cold, and it started snowing again. When I got up this morning the world seemed awfully quiet, but it was a white blanket that was responsible for the muffled sounds. There's enough snow on the balcony to make a little snow person. I put up my little Christmas tree and the lights, wrapped those presents I had bought already and just played a bit with LB. We're living on hope that tomorrow will be a better day for P.
To make sure he doesn't have to fight for a seat on the train, he has booked a flight from London to Brussels. Our airport had been closed for five hours today because of the snow. Luckily there's no snow to be expected until tomorrow at noon and P. has an early flight. So as long as it doesn't snow, we're good and P. will be home tomorrow.
For him this is actually all very surreal. This morning I was talking on the phone about the amount of snow on our street. He couldn't imagine it. Oxford was cold, but had clear blue skies.
