It started to snow yesterday, and it is snowing today too - quite heavily at the moment. Check out the webcam picture opposite. The forecast is for snow until at least Tuesday I think. It is a lot colder than it was last year at this time. A high pressure front means not too much rain though, which is nice.
Steph and I went to see Casino Royale with some friends last Sunday. We all really enjoyed it. I thought it was the best Bond film in ages. Some of the action sequences are awesome, and Daniel Craig seemed to fit the role really well. It was a little too long, and had its moments of silliness, but overall it was a great movie. Recommended!
We are still having to boil our water at the moment. It's improved in quality since last weekend but is still some way off being good enough to drink. I expect the boil water advisory won't be lifted for another week at least. We are getting used to relying on bottled water now, although washing up is still a major pain - boiling enough water to fill the sink is a time-consuming process :/
Last night we went out for drinks for a friend's birthday. We then went 5-pin bowling. It was similar to modern 10-pin bowling that I have done before, but there are only 5 pins (obviously) and the balls are much smaller - small enough to grip in one hand. It was pretty low-tech - the pins themselves were on strings that reset them, and there was no electronic scoreboard. You had to puzzle it out for yourself which isn't easy when you're a little tipsy. It was all very quaint and old-fashioned :) I think everyone enjoyed it though (there were nearly 20 people there altogether) and Steph and I would like to do it again some time.
