Day 75 - 9:53am, 16 March 2019
It's snowing!!! There's something very life-affirming about opening your curtains in the morning to find a layer of snow waiting for you. Immediately you're a kid again, hoping for a snow day and a chance to throw snowballs until the point your gloves are soaked through and your hands are too numb to continue.
Little Miss is due at acro-dance half way through the morning, which means a 15-minute walk through the snow. By the time we set off, it has stopped snowing and the snow left on the ground is rapidly turning to slush as the temperature rises and a growing rash of footprints cover it.
We are just passed the traffic lights when a taxi speeding toward us, no doubt to cheat the lights, covers us from head to foot in a hail of dirty slush. Thankfully, Little Miss has her waterproof trousers on so is able to strip off once we get to the dance studio. I, however, am wearing jeans and sit there waiting for her in a puddle of my own making, until it is time to walk home again. This is not the snow day I was dreaming of!
