As I sit here now it sounds pretty nasty out there.
The wind is crazy and the carpark across the road appear to have changed it’s life ambition to become a lake, and it’s working really really hard to achieve it.
I see lots of people are at home and not travelling due to severe weather warnings, so I thought I’d give you some recommended reading for a day inside watching the rain streaming down the window. Once you’ve worked your way though all the Retro Chick archives, naturally.

Hi there!
Love the photo of the lady in the library/bookstore(?) at the top of your page here. Are you a reader? I love books! In fact, I wrote a historical romance set in the 1940s. Your blog is very cool!
