snow day!!!!!!

sitting by the fire, watching the colours of the sky change from blue with sunshine, to blue with grey clouds, then different shaded grey clouds as rains come and go..... what a truly magnificent winter's day!

i went to the psychiatrist this morning and had a nice catch up, he has given me the ok to commence coming off my medication, so i start with half a tablet per day from this afternoon! woo hoo!

then i went for a lap around nqr and stocked up on a heap of food and food related things for the usual cheapness, i love that shop :-)

and then i went for a trip to masters to visit paul and give him his gloves back that he left at my place last week... got to have a quick chat to a couple of the people there i used to work with...

and then the dream came true.....

it started to snow.... and boy did it snow!!! it was a steady fall and i stood in it for short intervals to let people take a photo of me since it showed up well against my black jacket since nothing was settling on the grounds yet....

and then it got heavier! it probably wasn't heavy enough to be classed as a blizzard, but i'm sure for ballarat standards, and my standards (given i've not seen snow in australia before), it was a blizzard :-)

bundles of the staff came outside to take videos and photos of the snow shower, it was just a magnificent sight to behold. watching everything change from their original colours, turn to white... watching the dark blue road side sign of 'masters' begin to form a white corner as the snow started to cover it up.... and watching my dirty white truck turn whiter than the day i picked it up from the showroom!

i was in heaven!

i went and danced over to amanda who was texting someone about the snow and put my head on her shoulder and said "it's snowing!" i was like a kid (for once in my life lol)

the snow was bringing the best out of everybody that was around us - people commenting how beautiful it looked and how it was cold enough to be snowing anyway hehehe there were smiles galore!

i am so lucky that i got to be there for it. to share it with some good friends i used to work with. and knowing that i finally can note down the date that i finally saw snow in australia!

here's hoping that there's more on the way! it's snowed a few showers here at home in ballan, but still not enough to settle on the ground and change everything to white.....

it was very amazing to see the freeway covered in white, and all the fields, as far as the eye could see, were white like scenes from a northern hemispherical christmas!

i loved every minute of it! and i want it to happen again!!!

it's like a cleansing of the soul, the snow covers over everything that once was, to become a clean white new sheet of the future!

damn what a great day! :-)
