Yes indeed, we had one day of snow here in Reading yesterday. My boys made a miniature snowman on the front porch and I took a short video of my
eldest son throwing a snowball against the fence. Fun and games. I am really not looking forward to returning to the Australian summer, it's going to
be tough.

It's become a little cooler here in Reading today. I've just been out to town in -3°C. But, you can put warm clothes on when it's cold, there are no
cold clothes for when it gets hot. Between Friday night and Saturday night GMT we'll be passing through a 35°C change upwards.

Snow in the Mtns.,cold here.At night it's down to 28F.Daze are below 50F.That's cold for California,but not that strange at this time of year.If it
stays cold the price of food will rise accordingly with the loss of crops.The farmers have the giant fans,smudge pots and anything else that will
raise the tempature of they're crops above freezing.That's 32 degrees fahrenheit and it's been as low as 25F here for a week now.The cold really hurts
my thumb and fore finger from that operation on my elbow.Slowly regaining feeling and strenth in the whole arm.I'm not the only one that's feeling the
cold.It cracks me up that some Californians can be so..um..stoopid,going out in shorts,flip-flops,and a warm coat!Yeah,thats the ticket...for the flu!
The hospitals emergency rooms are experiencing a 30% rise in admissions due to flu like symptoms.No wonder! (place rolling eyes pumkin here)

So, 28F to 50F, that's -7.2C to 32.4C. And 25F is -12.6C, for those of us not still living in the 19th century. 
It went down to -4C overnight here which is 29.8F for the 19th century folk. There's a very gossamer like snow fall happening this morning, enough to
see little flecks of white but not enough to accumulate. Full on snow has been predicted for tomorrow and Saturday, so we may get to see a snow fall
tomorrow morning while we pack to go back to OZ.

I doubt a pack of snow would facilitate your return home, so I guess it's better this way. Hey, if I see your plane flying over, I'll toss a snowball
at you!

 This is the standard smilie pack that came with the XMB forum update.
You could download/make more and upload them to be able to use them here.
Am not feeling well today. Went to the market, which was a bad idea.

The suggestion that I might meet up with Bonny at some point could have come fleetingly close on Friday. We were in the airport in Amsterdam for a
very short period. Off the plane from London and straight into the queue for the plane to Kuala Lumpur.
And, see some snow while we pack?? Jesus!! Packing the snow covered car while snow fell, and scrunching through snow between the front door and the
back of the car, was an interesting experience for me. Then, it took over one hour just to get to from the part of the road that we were staying on,
to the turn off just past the local cinema, from that same road, towards the main freeway towards the airport. Luckily, the pace picked up after that.
Also lucky, our flight to Amsterdam wasn't delayed. There were many disgruntled travellers at Heathrow facing bad news.
Then, when we finally got to Adelaide, as if the gods of global travel weren't done with us yet, they had lost my youngest son's bag. Thankfully, they
found it and it was delivered to us late yesterday.
None the less, we had a great time.

I've heard! Problems in the UK have grown, over 5000 schools are closed I understand. It's slippery here too, especially in the north, where two
people have died in accidents. I decided to stay at home and clean the pavement.

It's very manageable here. I understand in Germany there was a small fire in the wrong booth and because of that Siegerland has limited phone service:
which also means ATMs and stuff don't work. How dependent we've got!

Is your Dad saying that he named you after a brand of baby formula? None the less, it's a nice name.

I hate it. Always did.
Anyway I'm contemplating on quitting the Perfect Pitch course I just started on. At the current stage I'm in, I need to play two or three notes at a
time and then sing them. The playing is not the problem, nor is the hearing but my voice control is way too poor and my throat hurts too easily for
the singing part.

I didn't realise you hated it. You seem to like it enough to complain when people don't spell it correctly.
My limited singing voice has always been a problem in the same way. There are many things that I can hear and understand without being able to sing
them. Singing and whistling have both been an aid to my learning to some degree, but if you can't sing a particular note, you can't sing a particular
note. Nothing beats messing around on a guitar or a piano when it comes to composing.

Got bullied with it as a kid, and still, for some odd reason, people enjoy singing annoying songs with my name in it (like this one) when I'm near. Even grown-ups like to say "Where's Clyde?" or stuff like that.

I understand you Bonny, my firstname, Renaud, is the name of a famous singer in France and also a very well known brand of cars (even though spelt
differently) so there was always someone who thought it was extremely original and smart to refer to these and make fun of me. It usually ended with
my fist in their faces when I was young, now I use sarcasm.
