Cold Chilies and Strange Weather

cold chilies
cold cherry tomatoes
snowy tall grass
The day started out characteristically London gray but very quickly turned from light dusty flurries to a proper whiteout blizzard today between noon and 12:30pm. Fortunately the snow eased up by the time I ventured out into the snowy streets to meet a girlfriend for lunch. Hours later the clouds would part and the skies would wipe itself blue. The sun even came out for a visit and melted the snow just enough to make walking nice and slippery. Brrr. Looks like we're in for a chilly weekend so button up and play safe out there.

Happy Friday!

A kiss to light up a tree

A kiss under the kissmas tree
Some may call it puro cheeso of the gag inducing variety. Others may roll their eyes and deem it mawkish and sentimental. But I find it a sweet interactive installation that gets us to make kisses, not disses, yo. The Kissmas Tree in Covent Garden is rigged up to harness the enormous power of 'a kiss under the mistletoe', send its electric current spiralling up the wires that festoon the large Christmas tree sitting in the piazza and spark it to life with twinkling lights. Ohh ahh. Pretty lights. I've always been a fan of the kiss under mistletoe and I'm happy to see it used here to light up the night. Definitely one of the Christmassy highlights in London this season. ho ho ho. Merry Kissmas.
