Snow

We're in London for the long weekend since Friday. Me, Sam, Ryan are staying with my sister Kim. Our trains and flights home should be tonight but it snowed more than it has since 1991 and all transport is suspended! We might get out tonight but not if it keeps snowing.

Let me rewind to friday and cover the weekend so far. Me and Sam arrived about midday and met Ryan and Kim then went for a coffee. Later we went around the science museum and me and Ryan saw Les Miserables. It was good, we were sat really high up though!

On Saturday we walked around half of London and saw a bunch of sights then got some food in the Hard Rock cafe.

Sunday we got tickets for the open top tour bus, froze half too death and covered pretty much all of the city. Shortly afterwards, while we watched The Dark Knight in the Imax London, and most of the country was covered in snow. We struggled to get home with most trains delayed or cancelled. We made it halfway then got a cab. The cab spun off on a corner but we were all fine. I think it shook the driver up so I tipped him well and told him not to rush home.

Monday we awoke to over a foot of snow and news that all transport was off. We were going to visit the History and British museums for their respective exhibitions on Darwin and Babylon. Instead we played in the snow and built a snow woman. I fell throwing an iceberg of a snowball and split my knee open but only noticed an hour later when I realized my leg was wet with the blood. Now all fixed up and about to eat some home made sushi.

We'll see if it stops snowing. It looks unlikely!
