So I pretty much lost the bet. The 5 girls made a bet about when the first snowflakes would fall. We made the bet about 2 weeks ago, and it was cold, so I guessed 2 weeks- the 15th of November. Well, I thought it was cold then, it is cold now too. Surprise-surprise, but no snow fell today. It has to fall before Sunday for me to still win. But I doubt it will. Ulrike is next, with the 24th as her bet. As we have Gretchen here from America, we are all going to celebrate Thanks-giving together on the 24th. It will be a first for most of us, it will be fun, I’m looking forward to saying thanks. I have been so lucky on this trip, in the past 5 months, and it’s nice to be surrounded by this new family for Thanks-giving. Following Ulrike is Gretchen, with a bet of the 25th of November, they both think it will fall on Thanks-giving, apparently snow is common in America on this day. Nele bet the 29th of November, and Jenny bet the 1st of December. I hope I win, I am the one with the least experience of snow, and the prize is bragging rights.
Today is the 24th of November- Thanks-giving. We still havent seen snow. I learnt today that snow is frozen rain. Had I thought about it, I would have worked that out, but I maintain I have never thought about it. It's constantly getting colder - what comes after snow? It's currently warmer in the fridge than it is outside. - please appreciate the sunshine in Australia this summer, I am missing it!!
