Brrr
Yesterday, we took the boys in the school. Not unexpectedly, it was a bit frozen, so I did my usual trick: get Mike to trot Baby around a few times, so that his enormous feet can break the surface up and make it more comfortable for GB to go around on.
Only it didn't work: it was frozen all the way down.... We had a fairly slow riding session, after that! Tomorrow, we're going to try riding in the afternoon, when things might have softened up a bit.
This afternoon, I was supposed to be going into Canterbury for waxing and suchlike. My usual car park was full, so I went over to the other side of town and tried the one near the station, which was also full. As was the one near the theatre, and the three little ones dotted in between. It took me ten minutes to get out of the one near the theatre, there were so many people driving around it looking for a space. I even tried the multi-story, which I loath (tiny spaces, with pillars between each of them). I gave up and headed for home, and passed the park-and-ride on the way. That had two whole spaces, the sign said. Fortunately, they fitted me in later in the day, so I'm just back now. It was still busy in the car park, but there were spaces. Bizarrely, the girls at the salon reported that the shops hadn't been all that busy when they'd had their breaks. Memo to self: don't try to go into Canterbury between Christmas and New Year in future.
