Why the hell is it snowing???
Seriously, what is up with the weather yesterday and today?? Nice sunny sunday morning, we go to church, come home and have lunch before deciding to take the sprog to the park (the decent one with the ducks).
Halfway there and there's a blizzard. Out of nowhere. Steve, as ever, is without a coat so runs home to get warm...I carry on as we need milk and I want to look for shoes for the kid. She is wearing just a fleece over her tshirt as it was quite pleasant when we left the house not 25 minutes ago (this has relevance very soon).
Go to Woolworths and the snow stops. Lovely - I can now go grab some milk and head home. Clearly the Great Pink Pixie in the sky hears my arrogant thoughts and sends the full force of an Arctic winter to teach me a lesson. Then the kid starts screaming coz she's so cold, so I have to give up my coat to her and am now walking home in a blizzard with the thinnest of thin tops on and four pints of cold milk in my hand.
Took an hour to get home and I could not feel my own arms...then I look in the mirror and see that I have what looks like sunburn all over my face due to the driving wind and snow...I resemble an over-excited raccoon.
Note to self - do not listen to children when wanting to go to the park. It is safer to stay at home forever.
