Day 61/365: Snow day + Friday's Unscientific Poll

[nanila]

The canal, partially iced over, and the pub, viewed from beneath a bridge.

We had a snow day today. Humuhumu's school was shut, the roads are an ice rink and Keiki has a fever anyway, so it made sense to stay home. Around 4 PM, however, we were all getting a bit restless so we decided to tog up and venture down the towpath to the one destination within easy walking distance: the pub. Drinks, snacks, friendly neighbours' doggies, and the roaring open fire were enjoyed by all.

Humuhumu, bloke and Keiki enjoy hot chocolate, beer and lime & soda respectively.


Keiki, me and Humuhumu. Keiki is about to chew on his slice of lime, which he enjoys. I am telling him to look at the camera, which I'm not doing myself. Humuhumu is pointing at the ceiling, for reasons unknown.

Heh. I don't understand rounds either but it's just a thing you do, and as a foreigner, it's a relative easy way to score an "in" with people if you can afford it.
