(the one in a crowd)

read in the newspaper this morning that europe (especially cornwall, that's near where tess lives!) is being hit by a sudden winter freeze. being temperature-sensitive as i am i'm already sensing the chills here in hong kong, it must be really really cold out there. i wonder how i survived the 7 years in england...

when we were young, we wanted it to snow so we could play with it on the school pitches. but when it really did, i ended up watching the others snow fight, while i was rushing to get my first scarf knitted in the snow (!), it was christmas present for my best friend.

but the worst thing about the snow must have been the aftermath. i was terrified when i had to walk on the floor that was once laid by soft snow and later pressed into slippery icy paths. i tripped over a few times. that probably shows i'm not such a good ice-skater...

wishing my friends in england safe and warm this christmas. thinking loads about you.
