This Christmas has been freezing cold. Even the brackish water in the lower part of the river has frozen. It doesn't happen very often. The flame in our fireplace has burnt continuously.
Today it was warmer, only -10 degrees Celcius (15 Fahrenheit). Older boy went to the local ski resort with his buddies. Little boy and I went skating. The ice rink is outdoor, a five minute walk from our house. It's a football field in the summer, and ice rink in the winter. The ice rink is slightly oblique, uphill one way and downhill the other. It was a very nice and pleasant day to be outdoor.
Most of the Christmas hazzle is over, fortunately Tomorrow we leave for skiing vacation till New Years Eve >:)
...I agree, its been exceptionally cold throughout this winter season. Hoping it leads to sunny skies and temps well within my comfort zone real soon:)

Minus 10 degree is warmer?! Oh, oh, not my kind of weather. Happy holiday. Stay away from too much booze. Checking out girls are ok. Hehe.

Enjoy your skiing!
ReplyDeleteWe had a coolish winter in India too, but the last couple of days it has really warmed up.
ReplyDeleteHave a great holiday, and here's wising you a wonderful 2011.
Sounds almost romantic when you put it that way! It is great that you get out and are active in the winter weather. Makes it easier to take. I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas!
ReplyDeleteSkating is nice, from time to time, but my ankles always hurt after a couple of hours. I'm mainly a skier >:)
