1 December 2012
Long lie this morning as it was exam day for some of my massage students. Bring on the practical sessions, written exam paper & oral questioning!
Got myself completely ready to go, even remembered to do something about lunch this time too. What I hadn't factored in was the sparkling, white, cold powder that greeted me at my front door! That's right, snow. Glad to see it was kind enough to wait until December before it arrived this year however. My street looks so pretty & picture-squeak in the snow. Especially when I'm wrapped up all warmly inside.
Outside, it's another matter. It's bloomin' freezing. There's almost an inch of the pretty snowy white stuff lying & i live at the bottom of one hill which is at the top of another!
In fact, my car has the cheek to tell me it's 0 degrees AND it puts the frost symbol on the display! As if I couldn't tell that myself! I was the one scraping the car's windscreen & sliding about in my drive. Honestly, the car thinks it's so smart to put the sarcastic frosty snowflake symbol on the dash but I'll have the last laugh! I may just decide to ignore your blatant, rub my face in it, warning. I may throw caution to the wind & drive away tomorrow morning without scraping my windscreen! Ha! That'll show it!
On second thoughts, the car is 5 weeks old, still smells new inside &, well, generally, I LOVE IT! It's so shiny!
So you have won this time my new little friend but one day, when you least expect it, I'll have my revenge. It may come years from now but I'll remember this first snow day I have had with you & the way you chose to slide round the corner into the supermarket car park without my consent! Just because you wanted to try out your slick new tyres by playing in the snow & slush.
So, bring it on snow! Let's see what my wee boy can cope with! In the meantime, I wonder if I can turn that damn frost symbol off?!
Come hell, highwater, snow or ice!
Snow? Must Be December! • Opuss № I
