Death of a snowman

Alas, the London snow started disappearing almost straight away, and we only really had half-a-day of fun with it. And I didn’t really have any fun with it because there was nobody I knew I could throw snowballs at, or make a snowman with.

One of my friends suggested that I didn’t get round to building a snowman since I didn’t have anyone to build it with, or to take photos or to blog about it, and therefore “If I didn’t blog about building a snowman, would I have really built it?”.
