Sockmonkeys and Snow

I awoke to a perfect blanket of snow this morning, so what did I do? Of course. I made a sockmonkey. In case you're unaware (and if it isn't obvious), this is a monkey, made out of socks. Well, when I say 'made a sockmonkey', I really mean 'started making one'. Sewing is harder than it looks, guys. At least I didn't bleed all over it.

And then, I went tobogganing- for the first time in years. Not only was it cold and wet, but it was awesome! I never knew about the hill where we went, until today. As it happens, it's a damn good hill for sledging and whatnot. I would've got a picture for you guys, but I was way too busy sliding down hills. Also, I had gloves on, so I couldn't work my phone. Ah well, we'll live.

Possibly the only downside was the undesirables turning up; smoking and lobbing balls of ice at us. They really do very little to subvert the youth stereotype that apparently everyone over 40 has, of anyone below 20. Ah well. When the world burns, I can say 'at least people thought well of me'. Or most people do. I hope.

Also: Mario Mushroom hot water bottle! What? Why are you giving me that look? It gets cold at night...

Woo!

Enough of this madness! I'm cold, and want tea. Milk, two sugars, if you're interested. 

Until next time.
