I got to make a very quick trip home to see my parents, this was during the recent "Big Freeze" in Ireland and the UK. Thought you might like to see some photos of the snow around their house.

Our Guinea Pig likes to stretch himself out on the kids and go to sleep, haven't known one to do this before, he certainly like his creature comforts!

New Years Eve Snow
We've had a lot of Snow over the last few days, I know you are most likely thinking "what is unusually about that in Russia? This December we have had a lot more snow that Decembers in recent years. So yesterday while the snow was still fresh and clean I went out and got some photos, here is a small selection.

Winter Sunshine
We see very little of the sun during the winters here in Moscow, so when it does shine we all enjoy those brief moments. However as we approach the shortest day of the year it doesn't get very high in the sky. As our windows face south you would expect us to get a lot of sunshine but as we are surrounded by high building we actually have only two short spells when we get Sunshine. These you can see in the two pictures below. 
This was taken at about 10;30 when we first see the sun as it briefly pops up over one building and then disappears behind the other.
This is just before midday when it comes up over the tall building shortly before it disappears behind the nearer building and we won't see it again till the next day, if the skys are clear.

Daniel TaeKwonDo
Daniel was performing some of his skills with his Tae Kwon Do group at the Christmas concert in school yesterday, I thought you might like to see him in action. He said to mention that it was two pieces of wood together that he broke!
