Snow work


Snow work, originally uploaded by jiihaa.

There is so much snow on the roofs on houses that people are climbing up there to shovel it down. I did a couple of hours of shoveling today, throwing down 8-10 tons of snow, which is quite a job for anyone not usually doing heavy physical work. The photograph illustrates the amount of snow we have on our garden.

I have been reading some old books, many of which aren't good at all, but even bad writing can be entertaining sometimes. It is interesting that the blurbs on the covers of books sometimes reveal more than they perhaps intend. For example, "work that is original in design" - but is it any good, does it work? Or "enough plot twists" - can the reader follow the writing?
