Snow in February

Oscar Olim — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 13:16:40 +0000

Finally, the snow has arrived. It took a long time, but it’s here, and it’s so cool to wake up with the snow falling down

First weekend of April

So, yesterday was April’s fools day. Did you get fooled a lot? I particularly liked google one where we could control gmail and google docs with our body. Surprisingly, today someone hacked the xbox kinetic to do exactly that! Didn’t took them very long to accomplish it

Went for a quick coffee today as well, as it was a somewhat nice day today. The sun was a bit shy, but overal the weather has been improving lately. Now one more day on the weekend before getting back to another five days of hard work

White London (30.10.2010)

Today I woke up with snow falling outside my window. Such a nice view, specially when in the warmth confort of my bedroom. Now it does feel like Christmas

Here are some photos of it:

The day after

Well, seems it’s been snowing during all night here. In the morning is still falling some snow, and everything is covered in white. Transportation is down, underground is down, and I assume rail is also down,

Good day to stay at home :p

It’s snowing in London!

Wow. It’s snowing in London.

It really is nice with everything so white, and the little snow falling from the sky.

It seems that during the night more will come, with up to 15cm of snow on some areas of London. Maybe in the morning I’ll be able to make a snowman

What’s happening in London

Its been a while since I’ve written my mind.

Well, live in London goes well, work is great, with a really good relationship and atmosphere inside the office.

This is almost Christmas time, but for some reason in London we don’t see many festive lights around the city. I know that in Madeira this has already started. Good thing that in a couple of weeks I’ll be back home and will be able to grab some photos of the illuminations.

London seems very quiet about this season. If it wasn’t for the around 0°C at evenings, you could forget that it is Christmas time and winter is here.

Even last week there was some snow on Sunday, but since my Sundays start at around 11am, I didn’t got on time to the window to actually see it.

Buses are still slow, trains makes you feel like sardines and the cold tells you to stay home warm.
Lets see if I can get some photos of London this weekend…

To come, a review of Need for Speed Undercover for PC and PSP, and the movie X-Files: I Want to Believe. Stay tuned…

Brighton

This is another nice place, outside London.

After a couple of months here, the sea was something that was outside of my horizont for a long time.

In Brighton we can see the sea again, and on top, it was a really nice day. The walk on the boat was great, and I hope that next time I go prepared to visit the sea.
