I cant get no sleep!

Butterflies in my tummy, when I wake up and see that the playground that my glass balcony wall faces is covered in snow: not tinsy-minsy-tiny bit of snow, but we are talking a good deal of snow which is hear to stay! wooo hooo...

I rush out, make a tiny snowman before I find I cant feel my hands at all, ran inside and get warm again - have to save my batteries for when Chris arrives!! (yay!) I go off to see Anindya in the hospital - he can move more today and is quizzing us about all the different details in his room. Bless him, he never had the chance to observe it the first time! We tell him lots about the snow and he watches the ski championships on 'pub' channel.

I go around clicking a few pictures of tinsel town! attached here: place de Kleber,

the large Strasbourg Sapin de Noel,

some street decorations (I have so many of these pictures! - every street is decorated extensively!)

...and the Strasbourg city's advent calendar : every morning by the church we stop by on the way to university/work and gather around here to watch either the mayor or priest (or sometimes the youngest kid in the crowd) opening the window to another day! - its really cool...

I finally manage to get hold of the damn coach tickets to A-dam! (more yay!) and after much hassle, Chris manages to get us a large room in hotel Arena (louder yays). So, I cant wait to go and get Chris, I cant fall asleep at nite - I am so excited.

One thought crosses my mind as I lay awake in bed - I think of Phyllis and hope she is doing well.
