ice skating fun

ming85 has a pic spam about Canals iceskating in Amsterdam, where the canals have frozen for the first time in 15 years. And today's wetteronline.de features a photo report about ice trekking in Holland... a 30km long route through narrow canals and across frozen lakes.

I've gone ice skating almost every day for the past 10 days. :) The crappy weather will be back starting tomorrow but the clear frost was glorious while it lasted. And there's still a chance that we'll get proper snow rather than rain, so... *please please please*. Woke up this morning with a dry nose and a bunch of my friends mention they feel a cold coming on, so today I skated only for a short time and threw in a bowl of hot soup and a cup of hot lemon juice soon as I got home. Now I'm mostly cuddling at the heater, doing my taxes. Got a climbing date for tonight but I'm gonna take that real easy, too. I hope that all the sun and fresh air of the past two weeks have boosted my immune system sufficiently, fingers crossed.
