we were saving it all up
March 4th, 2006
yesterday was magical. i was in a windowless room for just 50 minutes, and during that time the weather turned from bright sunshine (and very cold) to heavy snow (and very cold). what was amazing was walking outside, after just 50 minutes since i last saw the outside world, and there being inches of snow on my bike.
so i risked life and limb to the cycle the 2 mile journey home (on my road bike) in 4 inches of snow, already compacted in places to form sheet ice. i slipped twice and had plenty of wheel spin, but made it home in one piece.
one interesting thing was how the snow makes people communicate. on the way home, i had banter with 4 random people on the street.
then i took an hour off my working day and went for a walk around holyrood. I can’t get enough of that crunch crunch under foot. I took a few pictures of my extended back garden:
