NASA satellite picture of the current UK cold-snap. When I got home last night at around 11:30, there was no snow. When I left my flat for work this morning, there was snow everywhere! It's still snowing quite heavily and it will apparently continue all day.

I love how incredibly blue the sky is in winter, just after the sun goes down. Five minutes later it's completely black, but I love those few minutes of electric blue. This is Regent Street with Christmas lights. Pretty.

A couple of recent night-spots I've been to...
Home House is a private members club somewhere near Marylebone. I'd been out to the pub, and then to dinner, with a friend and his friends, and afterwards I thought we were headed towards one of their flats... Wasn't until we were inside and saw ceilings like the one in this dodgy iPhoto, and a large staircase, and a cosy library with a bar in it, and a big room with a dance floor, that I realised. We did a tour, and settled in to one of the lounge-rooms for some red wine. On the way out, popped onto the dance floor for a quick boogie. Fun. A little bit rah-rah. And kind-of surreal.
The Bathhouse is a restaurant/bar/club right next to Liverpool Street station, in a funny little historic building. It used to be a Turkish bathhouse (tiled), but the food isn't Turkish, it's English: I had Shepherd's pie. It's wonderfully quirky; it wasn't until after dinner that it really warmed up and the crowd piled in - it turned into a kind of burlesque, feathers and fur party, with a DJ in a bird-cage. The crowd was a mix of gay, straight, city, East-end hipsters... It was cool. Our fabulous hair-dresser took us, and it was a very funny night. When we asked the waiter what a 'Bakewell tart' was, he helpfully told us, giggling, that it's a tart that's been baked well. Haha.

Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose by John Singer Sargent, 1885-6
This is one of my all-time favourite paintings (and painters). It's on permanent display at the Tate Britain. It was painted outdoors in order to capture the light at dusk. The girls are Dolly and Polly Barnard, the daughters of one of Sargent's friends.
