Day 12: As simple as A, B, C

A is for Angels: Today the snow has arrived with some conviction at city-level. Exile #3, it seems, has been taught the from-cradle upstate art of making snow-angels by one of her class-mates. Just as well we equipped her with snow-pants (what a great image that conjures for the British ex-pats).

B is for Bells: The snow has also prompted regular renditions of 'Jingle Bells' from Exile #4 - fair enough, it really has nothing to do with Christmas in any of its forms except by association. I was interested to find out that it was broadcast from space as part of a prank by the astronauts on one of the Gemini missions claiming to have seen Santa's sleigh from orbit.

C is for...: Exile #2 has furthered our attempts to live in a vaguely ethical way by finding some free-range eggs. The wonderful name these 'certified humane' eggs go-by? Cage-free. I suppose it has the benefit of giving a graphic impression of where the other eggs come from.
