Weather and Crochet Report

Good morning from Siberia! Or nearly. (I do really feel sorry for people who actually really live in Siberia. I wonder if any of them have any toes?)

All buses in Merseyside are canceled. That means that we cannot get to the Royal Mail depot to pick up my two parcels, so my Christmas gifts have been delayed again! At least one of the parcels is definitely a Christmas present, and the other one could either be a Christmas present or a box of books from my publisher.

The other day I got my first author copy of the three-in-one Mainley Mysteries. They are now selling on Amazon and should be going into Wal-Marts soon. We hope to sell enough to earn back our advance so that we will get some royalties! :)

But, back to the snow and ice. Because all the slush froze solid during the night, everything is a sheet of ice this morning. Trains are still on, but apparently no buses or taxis are running. Thousands of schools are closed.

I expect most stores and businesses are closed too. Our shop is certainly not open (not that I would have worked today anyway), but thankfully Somerfield down the road was open and we were able to get some essentials: deodorant, milk, cordial, bagels and ... um, yes, my husband brought home a pack of Cadburry's cream eggs because he deemed those necessities.

Meanwhile, I have finished my secnod musrhoom trinket box, and I also finished my pink dragon.

I hope you are finding things to keep you busy and happy while you are "iced in!" :)
