How much!!!

 Today's call with my sister got diverted into a "are these legit?" question regarding various plushies they're considering for Christmas for one of their (step on her side) grandkids. So I ended up googling Sonic and Minecraft plushies, which is not something I'd planned on doing, ever.

£30 for an 11" plushie?!?! FFS!!!! You could get an entire new game for that.

Let it snow!

 First snow of the year falling here tonight, and it looks like we're due for a decent covering (by UK standards, none of this 72" lake effect snow). I first noticed it about half an hour ago and in that time it's gone from not lying on the roads to completely covering them.

Snow always delights my inner child, but nowadays my inner child definitely prefers to watch from inside with a hot drink in his hand.

We had a heavy frost and freezing fog all day, so I suspect that it's not going to disappear overnight, particularly as the forecast is for another round at 6AM.
