Slip and Slide
Outside there is ice all over the road... the sidewalks... the cars... and it is slippery. As I found out two days this week so far. While I'm out there I slip and slide and attempt to stay upright while having a lot of fun. My arms are generally wrapped up nice and tight, my feet find that one downhills I tend to take 1 step and travel 3.... uphill I tend to run 3 and go 1 back... but all in all the winter is fun.
I can't complain after seeing pictures of the ice storms over in the US :)
My brother and his girlfriend have been here for nearly a week now and they are starting to settle in properly. Last night they stayed up to a normal bedtime for the first time since they arrived - I've gotten used to them disappearing around 7pm to crawl into bed... it gave me some quiet time :) So when they left the room at 9pm last night, my head didn't quite register that it had happened. I stayed up and watched Sunshine with Andy before getting to bed... at which time it was close to midnight.
Tonight I'll head out for some slip-and-slide action outside again. This time I might try to get Andy to take a picture while we're out :)
