Snow

Winter is upon us. We had our first proper snow of the winter this week. My mum headed back to Liverpool on Monday so we had a decadent weekend sitting around in the snug of various cafes and brew pubs. Then my old mate Dr Adam Platt arrived for a lightening tour of town and a few meetings at the uni with possible collaborators. Dr Platt crossed to the dark side some years ago and now works for a drug company in Cambridge.

One major plus about our house is its location. We are a healthy short walk from the University and even nearer to the Squirrel Hill shops. Above are some pics of the view from the back deck.

We joined the JCC this week. This is a local community center with loads of stuff going on. Most importantly they have a gym and pool etc and even an indoor running track which helps given the fact that it will be proper brass monkey weather until March. Brrrrrr!
