Frost

As many of you are aware, I'm sure, the last few days have been cold, and it's set to continue. With this morning came a thick, hard frost. It's like the world is adorned in white crispness. I actually love frost, I much prefer it to snow anyway, it's not nearly as destructive as the latter, and it doesn't disrupt anything.

Yesterday my birthday present from Mark arrived and after charging it last night, I set out this morning to take pictures of the frostiness. I have to say I'm very pleased with it, not just it's aesthetics, but also it's usability. I was particularly pleased that Mark chose a camera with it's own battery (I hate having the search for AA batteries all the time or, worse, the infamous AAA). It's red too, and beautiful. 

So this morning I took pictures of the frost from my window, but also ventured outside to take photos of it whilst also feeling it's coldness on my skin. Heading out in one's night-clothes is interesting, but at least my feet were used to the bite, so it was pretty easy to resist the temptation to flee.

With the impending arrival of Mark, once again, on British soil, there is much to be done today. Things that would normally have taken place tomorrow have also been pulled forward to today, and so my hours before his presence are set to be full of activity. My birthday is set to be busy too, and the only time I'll really get to relax will probably be Saturday and perhaps tomorrow morning. 

Waking with a headache this morning didn't really help, and I have a feeling that I'll need to keep refuelling my caffeine system today with view of my current body clock. One mug just isn't going to cut it. 

Still, I'll leave you with some of the pictures I took of the frost this morning.
