An entry dedicated to the pretty snow. Well, pictures of the pretty snow, that is. =) There's not much to report on except that i'm a semi-cripple. I sprained my back (and not just because of the ceilidh) but because I slept on Sara's floor Saturday night...so I am in a bit of pain. I am using a hot-water bottle. It's actually comical. Yesterday Sara couldn't walk normally, she had to shuffle. She was gradually coming down the stairs like a 88 year old grandmother. Not that I laugh at others in pain, I made a slight exception. But she totally got the last laugh. Today I was in the library and I was walking down the stairs painfully slow. I was the 88 year old grandmother, with a humpback. As I crawled along the staircase, a guy was coming from the doors and saw me coming down. He held the door open. I thought the chivalrous were a dying breed, but the guy was holding the door open for me even though I was at least 10 steps from the floor. And let me tell you, those were some long 10 steps. Yet, this guy stood patiently and waited as I hobbled down. And once I reached the door, finally, I awkwardly sighed an appreciative, "thank you." I apologized for taking so long and regaled him of my woes, and he said brightly, "you should get one of those hot-water bottles!" and I shook my head in agreement and said, "yes, I have one, some good it seems to be doing." Oh dear. Hopefully, it'll be all better tomorrow! Fingers crossed!
So I was doing laundry today and I looked out my window and saw the flurries of snow. I just hope tomorrow the slush won't freeze into ice or else that would be a dangerous path to class tomorrow. It was beautiful, especially Arthur's Seat decked out in white. Lovely!

I love your snowy photos! In the one of Arthur's Seat you even caught a person sitting on the bench and a cyclist perfectly between the trees! Lovely! I'm sorry you're in pain, though. I guess not much snow play happening at this point? I hope you're still able to get around and take care of busy-ness and that you heal soon! Speedy recovery, dearie! And enjoy the snow!
Love,
Kim

So when are you going to climb Arthur's Seat? I suggest climbing it while wearing cons.
