Saturday January 6

Off to Ottawa again, this time to a party at Irene's. The forecast was for flurries, but no snow at all until I was putting on my eye liner. It started snowing gently and by the time we set off it was snowing quite briskly, which it continued to do all the way in. So much for flurries, the roads were slippery, the snow relentless, and Bill questioned what we were doing out in it -- but had no intention of turning back - he is a Canadian after all!

The party was fun and the cooling of beer and wine innovative -- as we would have said in the government. A large drift came half-way up Irene's patio door, so you opened it to find various drinks sticking out of the snow.
