Complaints
Fay's been commenting on the lack of people-pictures on c r o s s o a k.
"There's too much abstract [censored] " she said "that Berko lot will be complaining, again"
"...and they all do complain, that's the thing" she continued (digging the hole deeper)
So please enjoy the following — normal service will be resumed shortly
Mowing
Two consecutive days of sunshine and warmth means... time to get the mower out.
Actually, it was more of a chance to catch up on some [autumn | fall] jobs left unfinished, rather than rampant winter grass growth.
Too nice for the science center
We'd planned to go to the Pacific Science Center but it was just too nice to spend the day indoors
Now, if only we'd thought to bring a couple of these for the trip back...

Found it!
*** Found ***
One Nintendo DS case (er, pink) plus assorted games and video footage of exclusive interview with Major Nelson Jr
*** Conclusion ***
either (a) Aiddy is blind or (b) we don't Dyson under the bed often enough
Apologies
Big 'sorry' to not-so-little H in Redmond...
Visitors Beware!
H is getting rather too good at Monopoly...
...so if you're visiting, get some training games in before hand ;-)
Tracking
Whilst on the phone Fay spotted tracks in the garden (yard)...
That's either a big dog, or small feet
Heist!
We figured out why the garden looked like it was covered in diamonds this morning. Harvey took the field testing of his new (on sale in REI ) balaclava a tad too seriously. But the choice of sled (sledge) as a get-away vehicle was inspired!
Snow 1 Seahawks 0
A great day with Dawn, Mark & Rachel although the Seahawks did loose to the Chicago Bears following a field goal in extra time: boooooooooo!
Still Snowy
The new maximum — minimum thermometer (thank you!) shows why the snow is still here, we even had a little top-up yesterday afternoon
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Sledding (or sledging) in Cottage Lake Park. H took top honors (honours).
At the top of sled (sledge) hill was a growing collection of lost+found (would be generally useful for finding stuff provided (a) there were more than 90 odd people in the group & (b) the pictures of 'found' stuff were geotagged)
Kool! neve erom wons
Snow means wrap up warm and have fun - and no need to keep a watchful eye of the mountain passes . Talking of watchful eyes , has Ken never read 1984?
Ekk! sorry, that last bit just sorta slipped out, normal programming has now been restored, and we return you, dear viewer, to some pictures of the snow and wintry conditions hear in western Washington...
More in the snow set on flickr.
One for Granddad
Some snow resulted in abandoned cars all over the shop, but that didn't stop DHL getting through (although whether they got back again is another matter).

Snow Again
Yup, it's snowing again. This is the current view across to the Cafeteria...
...and this is the path down to the car park (no, I didn't cycle today!).
I'm adopting the "wait for the madness to die down a bit" policy of getting home. Other appear to have adopted the "leave early but abandon car" policy.
