January 11 Blogpost
Good morning, folks,
The worst "snowstorm" in 32 years is still the top news story here on the isle. Schools have been closed nationwide for 6 days. I don't think the storm would've warranted even one snow day in Missouri or Illinois. No one owns a snow shovel here, so the sidewalks are ice packed. From what I can tell, the British control all the sand and they've had their own storms and won't send us any. Our transport minister has been on a Caribbean vacation and everyone wants his head. Whatever the reasons, it's not our fault that things are a mess over here! ..It's warmed up a bit today, so we hope go out to Kilmainham Jail and downtown to Penneys which - according to Nancy - has darling winter headbands with knitted flowers on them. Molly is demanding new Pumas and Nancy new Uggs as the weather has ruined their shoes... We spent yesterday inside and I spent the day in bed due to a bad cold. I have caught the girls giving each other secret signals noting how many days they have left with us (5) and also checking the weather forecasts quite regularly to see if they can fly out of here on Saturday. We all hope sunny days are ahead!
Still bleating despite sleeting,
I remain
