Snö, w00t!

It finally happened on Saturday - we had snow in Gothenbug! Yay! I say "yay" because we actually need it here. Instead of snowing, it's been raining a lot since winter crept in; because of this, there have been lots of floods where rivers have been bursting their banks. Snow is the lesser of the two evils.

Plus, snow has a psychological side, too, as Martin (one of the bar staff at Kville Biljard) reminded me: winter is always a dismal month, and when it's dull and wet, it compounds the miserable feeling that everyone has. When there's snow on the ground, however, it brightens the evenings up and lifts peoples' spirits.

Unfortunately, it only lasted about five hours. Snow turned to hail which turned to rain, and melted all the snow again. But today (Monday), it's seriously trying to snow again - the flakes are very small, there's not many of them and they're fluttering down very slowly, but it's trying at least. Let's hope it settles soon. Or, let's just skip winter and get to Spring

The ADSL saga continues, but in a positive way - sort of! I've finally got my phone line! Unfortunately I had to wait while the ADSL department's database "synched up" with the telephone department, so that was a week's worth of thumb-twiddling. Then I finally placed my order for ADSL last Thursday. Now, thanks to their stupid automated system (and the fact that they don't want to help me out, even after all the problem's I've had), I now have to wait "4-6 weeks" before I get the connection. Poo! But at least it's on it's way, I suppose.
