Frosty Morning


There's nothing quite like snuggling up to a radiator on a frosty morning in an uninsulated flat.

Mike and I went for our first outdoor skate of the season last night. Edinburgh's Winter Wonderland started on Friday. For the next month and a half they'll have an outdoor rink open in the Princes Street gardens, that's right downtown. We rented skates (unisex figure skates, Mike had to get used to picks), and skated for about an hour to the tunes of bad Europop. The ice was good though, real outdoor ice, not the soft arena stuff.

Actually, I didn't have to use the picks on the skates as they seemed to be sharpened correctly. Not terribly sharp mind you, but sharp enough for starting, stopping and turning without falling.

Non-insulated?? Sounds like you may beat my record when the heating broke down in our Ottawa apartment a few years ago; our living room temperature was 10 degrees.
