I cowered when I stepped out first, blinking against snowflakes falling into my eyes. But then decided, why not! A Japanese girl and I took turns, photographing each other on the snow-lined platform, I used my right foot to etch I (heart)
On screen, two hours of conversation and an oppressive tension grew. The denouement, when it came, was predictable, but still made me cringe.
Trains crawled, ours decided not to move at all.
A chatty cab ride, double the fare, stranded cars: the heaviest snowfall London has seen in ten (or was it fifteen?) years.
An adventure on a special night. Parts of it may have been less comfortable than the others.
What really made me uncomfortable though, was the colour of the sky. A bright glowing red it is, at midnight too! The colour skies are when aliens attack in your dreams.
I am back home and jittery, everything is still glowing (white) under the strange red light.

I was out that night....thought that was all of the snow I could get! It was around 2A.M. and still snowing but I had no idea what was in store for me. I made balls and was happy enough to try out my skating skills from younger days which were of course not on snow but polished concrete! Next morning, I get up and open the curtain to see the white. I couldn't stay inside a bit longer! I think I forgot to brush that day! lol!
